Reviews

An exceptional book ... It is perfect ... From beginning to end it is a true chiller' * Guardian *
Intellectually intriguing, viscerally gripping and emotionally engaging. The only reason you'll put this book down is to postpone the dreadful moment when you finish it' * Independent *
Gripping, original and intricately conceived and written' * The Times *
Compelling ... A truly memorable book, full of insights into sexuality, and the dehumanisation of a man who loses everything through no fault of his own' * Marie Claire *
