As shamelessly thrilling as a rollercoaster * Observer *
Andrew Klavan is impressive. Coolly detached, immensely detailed and totally convincing. Every character is brought to life. * Sunday Telegraph *
Time flies when you're having fun, waiting to die, or reading Andrew Klavan. Nerve-plucking suspense. * New York Times *
