Montanari keeps things moving with well-placed clues, red herrings and a surprise killer. A scary, suspenseful psychosexual thriller.

Richard Montanari's vivid portrayal of a serial killing bad-dream team is sick, kinky, realistic, scary as hell and absolutely great.

Savvy and sharp ... as well-written a thriller as The Silence of the Lambs ... A winner.

Tough, bloodthirsty, sexually explicit US serial killer tale . . . one hell of a read, though not for the squeamish

Steve Earle writes like a shimmering neon angel

Snapshots of brilliance

The former junkie and 'hardcore troubadour' has fought his demons and found God. Now he wants to show us how it's done

Earle seems to have little trouble expanding his range from a three-minute song to a 300-page narrative... And though the novel comes no closer to establishing the facts of Hank Williams's death, it certainly reveals a good deal of truth behind it

A witty, heartfelt story of hope, forgiveness and redemption
