As flawed heroes go, Cody is up there with the best in every sense and you'll find yourself worrying about him as much as the bloody terror he's facing. A thrilling series opener. -- Jon Wise * Weekend Sport *
I was sucked in and had tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. At other points, I just couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Jackson's writing is flawless. Clear and concise. To the point and cuts you when you're not looking. Utterly utterly fabulous. What a way to start a series! Highly recommended. -- Rebecca Bradley * Murder Down to A Tea Blog *

It grabs you right from the start and doesn't let go...An outstanding read. A first rate gem of read. Oh god I need to get more books by this author! * I Love Reading Blog *
By far the best book I have read this year...this book picks you up from page one and doesn't put you down till the last page. It is a rollercoaster of plot, intrigue, false turnings and twists. * breakawayreviews.co.uk *
The Liverpool setting makes for an interesting change, the characters are well drawn and the plot builds to a taut and tense conclusion. In all, a worthy addition to the annals of British detective fiction * The Sydney Morning Gerald *

This is a gripping, tense, edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end * Nudge Books *
Quite possibly the creepiest opening to a crime novel that I have ever read. It feels like a horror film, you don't want to look, but you do anyway. DS Cody is a fantastic character and the unusual twist to the plot had me hooked * Damp Pebbles *
The ending on that will take your breath away and you can't tell anyone else about it or you'll ruin the book. But, it's stunning. I love David Jackson's work. I'd pick up anything he writes without reading the back -- Rebecca Bradley * Portobello Book Blog *
