'I have read all 5 DCI McNeill books and would say that they are as good if not better than books written by Ian Rankin' - Amazon Reader.

An action-packed thriller that grabbed my attention from the start.

Mac made a fascinating lead character and the way his team was put together is credit to a superb plot.

My goodness, what a ride. This book outstanding.

Strong on characters and settings with a storyline that's far from the norm. Highly recommended.
