"In THE CUTTING, [Hayman] gives readers a suspenseful police procedural whirling around a character who has the brains, courage and human concern to be the reader's hero from start to finish."--Portland Press Herald on THE CUTTING

"Taut, deft and with a delicate sense of place, this is supremely accomplished storytelling--not just another depiction of a serial killer rampage."--Daily Mail (London) on THE CUTTING

"What makes this novel stand out from other mysteries is the strong character based story with many twists and turns."--Blackfive.net on DARKNESS FIRST
