Mason Cross has created an enigmatic character in Carter Blake. The writing is taut, intelligent, oozes suspense. A highly impressive debut novel.--Matt Hilton, author of the bestselling Joe Hunter thrillers

My kind of book.--Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Keeps the pace breakneck, the suspense high, and the body-count higher.

Fans of Jeffery Deaver that other thrill-master who can't resist piling on the climactic twists even as the lights are coming up and you're looking for your umbrella should be enthralled."

Even jaded genre readers will be absorbed by Cross s second thriller featuring manhunter Carter Blake. Cross makes the most of alternating perspectives, building up to a logical but surprising climax."

Cross s skills at plot, locale, and character are impressive. Additionally Blake is as intriguing as he is competent, with a few skeletons in his closet to add to his credibility."
