Editorial Review | A tour de force finale in a book which will sure be a bestseller this summer. It well deserves to be. Independent on Sunday Brilliant, terrifying and effortlessly seductive, I defy anyone to put this thriller down - it is sensational. Daily Mail Another creepy thriller from a modern master. Daily Mirror This is one of Connolly's darker, scarier novels, all the more effective for the way the supernatural elements arise organically out of the realistic detail Guardian Connolly subtly combines the supernatural with the traditional crime story to superb effect. And in Herod, a man being eaten by cancer, he may have created his creepiest villain yet. Sun As ever with Connolly, the macabre narrative is couched in prose that is often allusive and poetic. Barry Forshaw, Independent His latest plot is a clever mixture of quest and chase, written in prose that unfolds at warp speed Observer Supernatural thriller by Dublin's finest.
