Praise for David Baldacci
‘Already among the world’s bestselling writers. Baldacci hardly needs to prove himself but he’s created one of the most intriguing, complex anti-heroes . . . Impossible to put down, especially because of Decker, who weaves a powerful spell’
Daily Mail
‘Yet another winner . . . The excitement builds . . . The plot’s many planted bombs explode unpredictably’
New York Times
‘A typically twisty plot never flags, and benefits from having the likeably offbeat sleuth (whose gifts include synaesthesia and a photographic memory) as its pivot’
Sunday Times
‘A plot strong enough to make the bath go cold around you’
Independent on Sunday
‘Baldacci is a gifted storyteller and he knows how to keep the pages turning’
Associated Press
‘It’s big, bold and almost impossible to put down . . . Decker is one of the most unusual detectives any novelist has dreamed up . . . I called this novel a master class on the bestseller because of its fast-moving narrative, the originality of its hero and its irresistible plot . . . Highly entertaining’
