A high-concept thriller ... a gripping picture of the horror that could lurk in America's wide-open spaces. The Sunday Times A tough, uncompromising and elegantly written thriller that elevates Kortya to the must-read status of the likes of Child, Connolly, Coben and Deaver. Irish Independent Is it possible we will be treated to some more Novak in the future? I don't know. What I do know is that Koryta's last three novels represent the high water mark for modern thriller writing and whatever he writes next I will be reading. Crime Fiction Lover
