Who This Is For

Best for readers who want to be kept on edge — propulsive, twisty, and hard to put down. The prose is accessible — you can read this quickly and it never asks too much of you. It moves quickly — once you're in, it's hard to stop. Readers who prefer character depth over plot drive may find it thin.

Best Read When

Best read when you're in the mood for something tense and impossible to put down — and want a read that's fast and propulsive.
