Review

Praise for Daniel Easterman’s writing:

‘There are shades of Graham Greene in the climate of brooding terror which Easterman conjures so very nicely.’ Independent

‘He can weave a web of suspense, laced with historical and mythological references that bait the imagination, satisfactorily embroidered with bullet holes and bloodshed.’ The Times

‘An accomplished writer.’ New Statesman

‘A master of spooky suspense and of the chapter cliffhanger.’ Scotsman
