Thrilling praise for

‘Tess Gerritsen is an automatic must-read in my house.

If you’ve never read Gerritsen, figure in the price

of electricity when you buy your first novel by her,

’cause, baby, you are going to be up all night. She is

better than Palmer, better than Cook… Yes, even

better than Crichton.’

—Stephen King

frightening that she makes Edgar Allan Poe…

seem like goody-two-shoes’

—Chicago Tribune

as good as James Patterson…’

‘It’s scary just how good Tess Gerritsen is…’

—Harlan Coben

Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben and even the great

Denis Lehane. Brilliant.’

compelling thrillers around.’
