Review
A visceral, unnerving psychological thriller. With a sure, steady hand Lindsey ratchets the suspense and sexual tension tighter and tighter, page by merciless page. (Stephen Coonts)
David Lindsey has a natural flair for storytelling. His characters are carefully drawn in three-dimensional colours. (NORTHERN ECHO)
The plotline is well thought out and excellently written but above all MERCY is a very entertaining read. (FEAR)
