"Pederson has written a story that seems deceptively simple, but as you peel away the layers, it offers unexpected richness, complexity and suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing debut thriller and I look forward to his next novel."

"This is an effective thriller in the mold of best-sellers like Thomas Harris’s Black Sunday. Pederson understands the genre, and paces the action well to reach a complete and satisfying ending. Hand on heart, I enjoyed reading it, and I think many other thriller fans would enjoy it just as much as me."
