A routine call to a sleazy Phoenix hotel throws police sergeant Alex Volchak into a world where the brain-dead check themselves out of hospital, and a stranger can seem to know the most intimate details of his life. Like his feelings for Loretta, the neighbour who's more than a friend, and her daughter Georgina, so much the child he never had. Volchak finds himself on the hunt for a child killer, someone who can apparently switch bodies with ease, and who is playing games with the police. And then Georgina is taken. "The best fusion of crime and horror since Hjortsberg's "Falling Angel" ... ordinary police procedures can't begin to cope with this" Time Out "An excellent thriller ... a cracking pace ... large helpings of deadpan gallows humour ... a genuine ability to create a sense of evil" Glasgow Evening News
