Rezensionen

The best yet of a great series, totally gripping and scary as hell.

Brilliant, chilling, satisfying and beautifully written. His best yet.

Sherez brings a trenchant, galvanic force to the crime novel that must be the envy of his peers ... and the echoes of Zola jostle with influences from Graham Greene to Dostoyevsky. Yet his immediate imperative is always an unshakeable narrative grip, here set against a jaw-dropping final development that will resonate with future books in the series.

Sherez is a fantastic writer... A gripping read from start to finish.

Bloody brilliant, I couldn't put it down.

A strong story told with vivid characters ... Sherez superbly captures the dark side of happy young London.

Typically great ... Brilliantly written, fascinating on technology and with a real emotional punch.

Sherez is now one of the most humane and original voices in crime fiction.

A brilliant, bruising thriller - nobody writes the unseen London like Sherez. Another triumph!

A great read. Gritty and soulful and bleakly beautiful.
