Be warned: this has one of the most shocking endings we've ever read
A masterly, disturbing piece of fiction . . . A novel that will leave you haunted long after you've read the final page
Superbly plotted, building from seemingly disparate elements, with a dread inevitability to a tense and shocking finale
Disturbing, clever and unputdownable
