Quite astonishing ... Mature, impeccably researched and written with supreme panache, it moves like a black mamba and is every bit as deadly. Fierce, taut and with an intensity that burns the lungs, I doubt whether there will be a debut thriller to match it this year, or even next DAILY MAIL Startling and sparkling assurance ... A star is born? Quite possibly SUNDAY TIMES Full of authentic detail, seedy locations and a high corpse count, it keeps you hooked until the very last page SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Brilliantly clever, gripping and action-packed. Utterly original and bound to become a big-budget movie. SUNDAY MIRROR Fast, hard and knowing: this is an amazing debut full of intrigue, tradecraft and suspense. Read it immediately! -- LEE CHILD
