Trade ReviewTerrific stuff! -- Ian Rankin
Mason Cross is a
thriller writer for the future who produces the kind of
fast-paced, high octane
thrillers that I love to read. -- Simon Kernick
A
well-plotted and
tension-filled tale delivering more
twists and turns than the Hampton Court maze and is packed with memorably drawn characters. * Irish Independent *
So
pacy I'm exhausted! Definitely one to read if you like your
thrillers thrilling. * Emma Kavanagh *
One of the most interesting 'loner' heroes to have arrived in recent years . . . Told with pace and vigour by a writer who seems to have a natural aptitude for thrillers, it is
not to be missed. * Daily Mail *
My kind of book. -- Lee Child
If you're a thriller fan who packs a summer blockbuster as a holiday read - then don't leave home without this.
Ever since The Killing Season debut, I've felt Scottish-born Cross (who sets his books in America) is a big challenge to that other Brit-made-good, Lee Child. Certainly Mason's enigmatic manhunter Carter Blake would admire Jack Reacher's style.
* Peterborough Evening Telegraph *
An American setting, universal themes,
top-class writing, Scottish author - it's a recipe that makes a deadly impact in this impressively sharp debut. Action fans rejoice, there's a new name on the Scottish thriller squad. He
plays fast, he plays dirty and, with this calibre of high-octane action, he'll definitely be taking prisoners. * Daily Record *
