Mysterious, dramatic, intricate, fascinating and unputdownable... Goddard is the crime writers' crime writer

The master of the clever twist

The plotting in this intelligent thriller is exceptionally good. Goddard's greatest strength is his ability to operate like a literary conjurer; we know he will give us a twist or surprise in almost every chapter, but time and time again he hits us with it from an unexpected direction

When it comes to duplicity and intrigue, Goddard is second to none... A master of manipulation
