Praise for The Never Game: (#ulink_e18c6e92-1b3f-54a1-a47c-afd66ad01d19)

‘The Never Game is the very definition of a page-turner’

IAN RANKIN

‘Terrific writing, vivid and raw, Deaver grips from the very first line and never lets up. He is, hands-down, one of the finest thriller writers of our time’

PETER JAMES

‘As always, Deaver gets you in his stealthy grip on page one, and then takes you on a wild and inventive ride … this time with new star character Colter Shaw. No one in the world does this kind of thing better than Deaver’

LEE CHILD

‘Masterful storytelling – The Never Game is Deaver’s most riveting, most twisty, most unputdownable novel yet’

KARIN SLAUGHTER

‘Lightning-fast and loaded with twists, The Never Game is a thrill a minute from one of the best. Don’t miss it’

HARLAN COBEN

‘Jeffery Deaver scores yet again with a fascinating new detective, Colter Shaw, and a plot as full of thrills and twists and turns as you would expect from him. With The Never Game you know you are in the hands of a master. But be warned – don’t start this too late in the evening because sleep would be an annoying interruption once you’ve started reading!’

PETER ROBINSON
