Review:

Fire and ice! Masterful suspense as compelling as secrets lying far beneath the dark sea. Lackberg is the perfect crime novelist who combines her gift for intriguingly complicated plots and a keen understanding of the 'grotesques' who live among us. Erotic and terrifying. --Ann Rule, author of In The Still of the Night

One of those mysteries that ruin a vacation. Take it to the beach and your eyes will be so locked on its pages, you'll never even know there's an ocean in front of you.

Eerie. Lackberg will keep you guessing.
