About this title

Review:

One of the cleverest, most compelling books I've read in a long time. The intoxicating voice, ingenious premise and intricate plot will have readers clamouring for a copy. Touch has bestseller written all over it and Claire North is one hell of a writer (C. L. Taylor, author of THE ACCIDENT)

A work of sparkling originality that works both as mesmerising thriller and exploration of what it means, at the most profound level, to be human (Alex Marwood, author of THE WICKED GIRLS)

I was totally and utterly gripped, it's just extraordinary. Absolutely mesmerising (Claire Mackintosh, author, feature writer and columnist)

Touch is fast, smart, cinematic and with a cracking central idea. This is absolutely destined to be one of the biggest thrillers of 2015 . . . A very, very impressive second outing (Rick O'Shea, radio presenter)

As intriguing and breathless as it is brilliantly original, constantly defying expectations and a step (or two) ahead of the reader. Featuring a troubled hero who can move from body to body just by grazing someone's fingertip and who becomes the subject of a sinister assassination attempt . . . Agile, unpredictable, this one will keep you awake at night in the search for answers

(LOVE READING)

A dark thriller that asks readers to imagine whom they would be if they could be anyone. Literally . . . This fast-paced tale starts with a bang and continues with a bunch more of them . . . The high stakes and breakneck pace of the plot will draw readers in, and the meditations on what it means to be human and to be loved will linger long after the last shot is fired (KIRKUS)

An intensely gripping cat and mouse game . . . Seriously I cannot get over how amazingly good Claire North is. I could have read this book forever. The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August was so smart,Touch is beyond genius. This will be one of THE books of 2015. Mark my words (BITE THE BOOK)

The writing is stunning; the action . . . exhilarating; the depth and emotion - always - thought-provoking and touching (THE LITERARY TREE)

Triumphant . . . This novel is utterly engaging, addictive, and thought-provoking . . . simply superb (CIVILIAN READER)
