- Lee Child
'Fresh, fearless, faithful and original. Karin Smirnoff takes on a heady challenge and makes a stylish, exciting and truly worthy statement. One of the great crime series of our time could not be in safer, more capable hands. I loved it.'
- Chris Whitaker
'An absolute incident-packed thrill-ride from start to finish. Karin has taken on the legacy of a legend and done the series justice.'
- Jo Spain

'[A] highly readable - and still ferocious - addition to the Millennium sequence'
