Reviews

An awesome achievement - a thriller of such power, scope and accomplishment that fanfares should herald its arrival. GUARDIAN So skilful is his use of dialogue and the Washington location, in a thriller that propels the reader along and offers shocks and suspense in equal measure, that one never doubts the authenticity of his American credentials... At 500 pages, this is a long, substantial novel. Yet had it been twice as long this reviewer would still have wanted more. WATERSTONES BOOKS QUARTERLY A very cunningly constructed serial killer thriller BOOKSELLER PAPERBACK PREVIEW 'grips with an iron fist until the bitter end' SHORTLIST This is a book with everything that a fan of modern mystery fiction could hope for: a labyrinthine plot, unbearable tension, controversy and a social conscience. CRIMESQUAD Ellory brings a new psychological and moral tension to the genre, mixing Washington politics with serial killings. SAGA 'a real page turner - shocking and deeply moving by turn' -- Ron Butlin SCOTSMAN
