Review:
"'A gripping psychological thriller...capturing the nervous mood of a city preoccupied, like one of its most famous residents, with sex and death'" * The New York Times * "'This is a captivating thriller that blooms into vivid life ... It's a novel written with immense skill, its sense of place and language constantly surprising and invigorating. A superb debut.'" * Daily Mail * "'Highly unusual, eerie...a glorious maze of dead ends and false leads. Sometimes gruesome and highly mysterious, it is an exciting new brand of detective story'" * Spectator * "'An artful and evocative thriller...rich in the texture of corruption' Independent" * Independent * "'An intensely powerful sense of time and place in this atmospheric and accomplished period whodunit'" * Harpers & Queen *
