Review:

Praise for The Hundredth Man:

‘A chilling journey into a pitch-black mind’ Michael Marshall

‘A sturdy hero with a clearcut mission and a setting that holds possibilities for fresh adventure. Kerley writes in a thrusting style that pushes the action from crime scene to autopsy table...’ The New York Times Book Review

‘Kerley jacks up the tension effectively, building to an all-stops-out climax. The plot is a treasure chest of interlocked pieces’ Booklist (starred review)

‘A serial killer with a difference: smartly written’ Kirkus
