Recensione:

Praise for Chris Petit's previous novels: 'Hugely impressive and highly readable; in the tradition of Thomas Harris's The Silence of the Lambs' Financial Times ** 'Ferocious invention marks this novel out as special' The Edge ** 'Ambitious and intelligent; a vivid, violent tale' Times ** 'Puts Petit in the first rank' Metro ** 'A zigzagging narrative as byzantine an blackly pessemistic as late James Ellroy' Independent on Sunday ** 'An example of the genre near its best. Gorky Park with something to spare; well worth anyone's weekend' Guardian for The Psalm Killer
