A rare talent and a must read - Karin SlaughterA gripping, beautifully crafted murder-mystery - Scott TurowA remarkably written and remarkably tense debut. I loved it - Dennis LehaneA terrific debut - atmospheric, suspenseful, assured. I hope there's more to come in the story of Bell Elkins and Acker's Gap - Laura LippmanBe careful opening this book because once you do you won't be able to close it. A killer novel - Tom Franklin
