‘The Fourth Monkey has one of the most ingenious openings that I’ve read in years. This thriller never disappoints.’

‘Superbly constructed and immaculately paced, this is one of the few serial killer thrillers that bears comparison with Thomas Harris’s 1981 masterpiece Red Dragon.’
The Daily Mail

‘A talented writer with a delightfully devious mind.’
Jeffery Deaver

‘Not since Hannibal Lecter had a friend for dinner has a serial killer been so skillfully rendered on the page.’

‘A labyrinth of madness and a macabre charnel house of mirrors, The Fourth Monkey is a 1st-rate, devilish thriller.’
Eric Rickstad, New York Times bestselling author of The Names Of Dead Girls

New York Times Bestselling Author, Kelley Armstrong
