However, it soon becomes clear that they will stop at nothing to evade the law.

If you're in the mood for a page-turner, you can't go wrong with this compelling thriller that puts Patricia Cornwell to shame . . . It's not for the faint-hearted, but you won't be able to put it down.

Barry Forshaw, Good Book Guide
Comparisons with Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs are inevitable... Fox holds her own, if not more, against the other two
The Times
Patricia Cornwell's forensic fantasies may have cooled, but Fox's morgue-talk promises to plug the gap.

Fox is stomach-churningly good
