Synopses & Reviews
Review
" moves like a freight train--a classic white-knuckled police procedural with the chills of a midnight horror movie, and the best kind of old-fashioned hero at the center. I loved it." Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of 'Paranoia'
Review
"The most original American novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich." Stephen King
Review
"Be warned: this book is loaded with provocations. The French have Michel Houellebecq; here in the US of A, we have Andrew Klavan.
Review
"Though the title might suggest more lighthearted fare, make no mistake, this is a gritty crime novel at heart. Klavan is a suspense expert, building slowly through the first half of the book and then setting a rapid, tense pace for the second. And for all of that, Klavan also infuses the text with a plentiful wry humor." Foreword Reviews
Review
"Fans of contemporary monster tales will be taken with Klavan's thriller." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"Klavan winds his tale tighter and tighter until the reader is hopelessly spellbound. Superb suspense by a master storyteller." Clive Cussler
Review
"A modern masterpiece of hardboiled horror, featuring a hero who feels like he stepped out of a
Raymond Chandler novel." John J. Miller, author of 'The First Assassin'
Review
"Klavan has a knack for creating relentless, fast-paced narratives, and this thriller-horror hybrid is no exception." Booklist
Review
" grabs the reader by the throat and doesn't let go until the very end. The writing is crisp and descriptive. Straight-arrow Zach Adams has his flaws and moments of doubt. The other characters are also fully-rounded. This good read will send shivers up your spine." AuthorLink.com
Review
"The two Edgars Klavan owns testify to his excellence at thrillers." Publishers Weekly
