Editorial Reviews

Action, intrigue and a stonkingly modern heroine. It's a blast

Sunday Times Crime Club

I recommend this original and compelling debut novel for fans of mysteries and thrillers, as well as for those looking for a credible female protagonist in a genre dominated by male superheroes.
