An artfully written, exuberant thriller with a mercurial and interesting central character -- Barry Forshaw * Guardian * It's a rare treat to read a book by the far-from-prolific Danish author Peter Hoeg. . . His latest novel is an offbeat futuristic thriller. . . the challenges Hoeg sets his readers are well worth taking on * Express * A well-tuned and clever femi-thriller. * Politiken * A continually surprising conspiracy thriller. -- THRILLER OF THE WEEK * The Mail on Sunday * Peter Hoeg is back. And better. And with a novel that is both a thriller, a social critique, and existentially provoking - and on top of that, wonderful and funny. * Dagbladenes Bureau *
