Review:
'When Green isn't making you laugh, he's making you bite your nails down to the bleeding point (Stephen King)
Green's comeback, 14 years after The Juror, is highly accomplished. The duo's scam is one of the strongest plot ideas in recent crime fiction, and he exploits it flawlessly, stuffing the novel with memorably rancid characters and manipulating the reader (Sunday Times)
Exquisitely drawn by a master miniaturist, this is a domestic thriller that boasts supreme characterisation and an elegant grasp of human failings - evoking a world where victim and attacker are inevitably drawn to one another: Indeed you may not even be able to tell them apart (Daily Mail)
It is 14 years since Dawes Green wrote bestseller The Juror. This masterclass in psychological suspense just made it worth the wait (Daily Record)

The Boatwright family have won the lottery. After a life of struggling to pay the bills, it seems their moment has finally come. But their joy is short-lived. Two grifters, Shaw and Romeo, have heard about the Boatwrights' win. They appear at the family's house and demand half the lottery money. At gunpoint, they tell the Boatwrights that if they do not comply with their requests they will kill all the people they love. And they mean it. Taken from euphoria to extreme terror, the next week is one that will determine whether the Boatwright family and their loved ones live or die. Held to ransom by the darkly charismatic Shaw and his psychotic sidekick Romeo, for this ordinary family nothing will ever be the same again...The first novel in 13 years from the legendary author of The Juror, Ravens is an astonishing tour-de-force; the most unforgettable thriller published in 2009.
