An often accomplished [...] addition to the ranks of Scandi Crime * The Times *
An adrenaline rush of a read; fast paced, thrilling, occasionally violent and always compelling * My Weekly *
A twisty, addictive and glamorous psychological thriller. Alex Dahl is a master at portraying the clandestine, dark side of the upper class -- Yrsa Sigurdardottir
