Review:

His [Billingham's] storylines of murders that go unseen or unrecognised are chilling and moving, and Tom Thorne is on terrific form (The Times)

Groundbreaking ... a gripping, unsensational take on a type of crime that is happening more frequently than many of us realise (Sunday Times)

[A] sensitive topic delicately handled, with a perfectly executed and thoroughly unnerving twist at the end (The Guardian)

Irascible, irritating and indefatigable...Billingham's passionate depiction of the injustice and brutality that flow from these killings spills from every page, making this one of his most powerful crime novels, written with a fury that does both him and Thorne justice (Daily Mail)

Brilliant and unbearable (Independent)

Entertaining, thought provoking and current (West Australian)

The author's rage, combined with his skill as a crime writer, makes this a gripping and genuinely tragic story (Literary Review)

Shocking and topical, the 14th book in the Thorne series is an engaging thriller from one of Britain's best crime writers (Daily Express)

Brave, topical, important and as uncomfortable to read as it is impossible not to (Heat)

Want something to get the heart racing as you laze by the pool?...A thrilling read not for the faint-hearted (Sun)
