Reviews

Praise for Sam Holland ‘Fierce, frightening, twisted and addictive’ Chris Whitaker, author of All The Colours of the Dark ‘Smart and brooding, icepick-sharp and shadow-dark; best of all, though, it’s scary as hell. Think you’re tough? Pick up this novel and prove it’ A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window ‘If you like crime that’s dark, twisted, and keeps you up all night, Holland is the author for you’ Jack Jordan, author of Do No Harm ‘Really disturbing and gripping but with a trademark sexy cop at the heart to offset the serial killer gore. Lots of fun in a very nightmarish way’ Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange ‘Sam Holland has created one of the most disturbing, shocking serial killers in recent memory’ M.W. Craven, author of The Puppet Show
