MEDIA REVIEWS
I couldn't put it downSharply plotted,suitably sordidJames dreams up a horrific intersection of extreme perversion and Internet technology in his frightening,expertly constructed second Det. Supt. Roy Grace novel...the rapid-fire suspense builds to a terrifying,graphic conclusion that leaves tantalizing room for future installments in the seriesA sick website which features videos of people being murdered is at the dark heart of this razor-sharp crime thriller. Gripping - but not for the faint-hearted
