Written with style and boasting a story that won't let you stop reading and characters who refuse to be held hostage by the plot, the novel is first-class thriller with some juicy horror touches. Mystery readers who don't know the Maguire novels should change that right now." --David Pitt, Booklist starred review, "Horrormeister Masterton is also a first-class crime novelist . . .

In the past four years he has established the engaging character of Irish Detective Superintendent Katie Maguire . . . What marks Masterton's skill, however, is his assured touch for victims confronted by unspeakable violence and DS Maguire herself, who remains compellingly human. If you have not read one, read all four now." -- Daily Mail
