“'Williams has created one of the most realistic protagonists in crime fiction that I've had the thrill to read'”

-- Tess Gerritsen 'An exceptionally smart, funny and character driven debut' -- Karin Slaughter 'This is one Street worth acquainting yourself with' -- Sun 'An explosive, unpredictable and psychologically complex thriller that turns crime fiction cliches inside out... Those looking for a strong female protagonist not a sexpot and as intelligent, tough, and flawed as any male thriller hero will be richly rewarded' -- Publishers Weekly 'A frightening and occasionally witty novel, perfect for those who can sleep with one eye open. Think Mary Higgins Clark with an edge' -- Kirkus
