This book will mess with your head' Michael Wood 'A literary thriller with the darkest storyline and the most ingenious execution I've ever read.

This deserves so much success' Sarah Pinborough 'Will Carver redefines crime fiction with a twisted slice of literary noir that breaks all the rules.

Wow' Tom Wood 'It's darkly twisted and deliciously distorted, shocking and completely mind warping!' Book Obsessed 'It's beautifully written. The writing is staccato - quick, fast-paced and compelling' Off-the-Shelf Books 'This is stylish and extraordinary writing. It's puzzling and perplexing but so damn good.
