Tess Gerritsen Press Reviews
Grabbed me by the throat and didn't let go until its hair-raising finish. Deep, dark and very disturbing -- Tami Hoag
If you've never read Gerritsen, figure in the price of electricity when you buy your first novel by her, cause baby, you are going to be up all night -- Stephen King
If you're home alone, do not risk even the first sentence. Once you've started reading this book, putting it down and saving it 'til later is not an option -- Mo Hayder, author of "Birdman"
This book is going to make you squirm... a taut, well-placed and throughly realistic thriller - The List
Superior to Patricia Cornwell and as good as James Patterson... Macabre and gruesome but absolutely riveting - Bookseller
