When Gillian s husband is then murdered in his own home, Samson comes under intense scrutiny but the only man making any progress on the case is the one who shouldn t be working on it. Yet he s the only one who believes Samson is innocent . . ."

About this title

Review

After reading only a few pages, it is easy to see why she is the most successful female crime author in her home country. This phenomenal, multilayered mystery offers plenty of psychological intrigue and suspense. Fans of psychological thrillers and dark mysteries will love this engrossing novel.

Most readers would never guess that this gripping psychological thriller was the work of a best-selling German novelist. Link's English-language debut is a dark, disturbing novel of suspense on par with Minette Walters. Link builds a sense of menace in these chapters that makes the reader dread turning the page but keeps you up all night doing just that.
