Readers cannot tell fact from fiction.The timing is perfect, the layers of the story both peel away and deepen as the search into the mind of a killer takes turns no one is expecting * RT Book Reviews *
The tension crackles . . . it had me changing my mind so often, my head was spinning. A work of art. * Sunday Express *
A dialogue propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road novel, a pair of psychological case studies. It would make a fine indie movie, although screen adaption would entail sacrificing Heaberlin's evocative prose -- THRILLER OF THE MONTH * The Sunday Times *
