What The Reviewers Say

John Knight,
The New York Times Book Review
An exciting, at times astonishing read.
Alexander Larman,
The Observer (UK)
Gripping and consistently surprising.
Ray Burke,
The Irish Times (IRE)
The 41 short, crisp, screenplay-like chapters in this superb and chilling book constitute a sordid thriller..
Michael O'Donnell,
The Wall Street Journal
The best book about the Troubles since Patrick Radden Keefe’s Say Nothing.
