Think Harlan Coben on speed
with a heart breaking compassion that will literally
have you biting your nails.


Ken Bruen, best-selling author of the Jack Taylor series
A terrific little-guy-in-big-trouble thriller
. . . think
Saw meets Payback moving at warp speed
— with the emphasis on warp.


Lee Child, #1 NY Times best-selling author

Reader Buzz

‘Wow! Loved it. Fast, thrilling, gripping, scary.
Gavin Hilzbrich

This is absolutely brilliant!
Jeanette Slinger

I can't stand crime novels that have a long preamble before getting to the action and this one certainly doesn't disappoint in that way. From page one it's straight in there, bish bash bosh and continues on in that vein, so you are frantically turning the pages to find out what happens next.
Sandra Hawe

The material I read was mad, frantic, super quick and entertaining.
Martin Higgins

Gripping… Explosive… Page Turning!!
Darren Elliot

This book is so cinematic . . . due to the punchy dialogue and the succession of crisp, sharp images which drive the narrative forward.
Sam Eades

This was great ... Very much made me think of Simon Kernick and Relentless actually . Decidedly scary and asks some very dark questions: just how far would you go to save your family?
Sue Cook
