Critic reviews

“[An] outstanding sequel to 2019’s The Never Game.... Deaver balances suspense and plausibility perfectly.... This is a perfect jumping-on point for readers new to one of today’s top contemporary thrillers writers.” (Publishers Weekly)

"Gripping and ingenious tale of greed and deception in the American wilderness." (The Times Thriller of the Month)

"Deaver’s reputation as a master of the corkscrewing plot is well earned.... Colter Shaw seems certain to become an enduring series lead." (Booklist)

A great Lison

As his second book was very exciting from start to finish. Mr Deaver really sucks you in to the story. Well dramatized with lots of seat of your pants chapters

Credible narcissist?

Overall an excellent story, well paced and appealing characters. I struggled a bit with the narcissist villain, whose phraseology seemed strangely familiar. It was hard to believe that people slavishly followed the villain,, but maybe that’s because I am not American.

So was this book a crime thriller, or a political satire?

A rollercoaster ride of a read!

If you enjoy action, adrenaline and a fast moving, white knuckle ride of a devilishly twisted plot, then this book is for you. Unassuming action hero Colter Shaw will stop at nothing in his quest for justice and truth, and the story becomes more and more complex as it unravels. A deviously constructed story, which keeps you on the edge of your seat to the very end, leaving the reader wanting more!
