“The guy can’t write a bad book. This is one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down.”
— STEPHEN KING

“Compulsively readable. . . . A nail-biter.”
— LINWOOD BARCLAY, #1 internationally bestselling author of Take Your Breath Away and The Lie Maker

“This brilliant novel is a whodunit that morphs into a serial murder that evolves into a chase to save the victim, and then adds a final twist. . . . [A] simply terrific mystery novel.”
— The Globe and Mail

“[An] expertly paced and psychologically acute novel . . . [with] insightfully drawn characters and [a] superb sense of place that the author conjures up with laconic ease, razor-sharp wit, and above all, compassion. . . . Gripping and insightful.”
— Kirkus (Starred Review)

“Cyrus Haven, forensic psychologist and profiler, returns in Robotham’s powerful and complex series. . . . Written to Robotham’s usual high standard, this terrific read will delight fans of his work.”
— Library Journal

“Robotham does a good job infusing suspense into the well-constructed plot, but at the end of the day this series is all about Cyrus and Evie. While pairings of older male investigators with younger female protégés are fairly common in crime fiction, Cyrus and Evie stand out from the pack. Readers will want to see a lot more of them.”
— Publishers Weekly

“Thoughtful . . . it isn’t easy to maintain a balance between two such different plot strands, but Robotham does it brilliantly.”
— Sunday Times

“Robotham displays his exceptional talent operating at full force.”
— Booklist

“A riveting page-turner.”
— MEGAN GOLDIN, author of The Night Swim

“Exactly the sort of thriller that pins you to your seat until you’ve finished it: a proper heart-pounding mystery with unforgettable characters and compelling twists.”
— JANE CASEY, author of the Maeve Kerrigan series
