"There is no other word than enthralled to describe exactly how the reader will feel the moment they begin this amazing book. . . . A fantastic psychological ride . . . this is one author that can scare you to death."

"Burley (Absence of Mercy, 2013) deftly twists this psychological thriller, threading his tale with clues that add up to a stunning revelation. Dark, intricate and compelling." Kirkus Reviews
