Paul Cleave is an award-winning author who divides his time between his home city of Christchurch, New Zealand, where all his novels are set, and Europe, where none of his novels are set. His books have been translated into over a dozen languages and have sold over a million copies. He's won the Ngaio Marsh Award three times, the Saint-Maur book festival's crime novel of the year award, and has been shortlisted for the Edgar, the Barry and the Ned Kelly Awards. When he's not at home with the stereo cranked up loud and working on his next novel, he can normally be found on a tennis court, a golf course, or throwing a Frisbee somewhere.
Cleave pulls out all the stops ... [He] juggles all the elements
with impressive ease. Darkly humorous references to horrific
violence will resonate with Dexter fans
*Publishers Weekly (starred)*
A little Hannibal Lecter. A little Richard von Krafft-Ebing. A lot
of gore
*Kirkus*
Cleave does his usual great job of threading two ongoing stories
from two different serials into a single, closely knit unit and as
usual, keeps the reader eager for more. It's hard not to empathize
with Joe, even cheering for the bad guy is allowed, if for no other
reason, we need to know what he will do next
*Suspense Magazine*
Clever, compelling, and not for the faint hearted. Joe Middleton is
the guiltiest "innocent man" in crime fiction
*Michael Robotham, internationally bestselling author of
Watching You*
Cleave writes vividly and violently, ratcheting up the tension ...
Ferocious and fun
*Crime Watch*
