Reviews

  • "Parsons is superb. He produces a riveting story from an unedifying subject which grips from start to finish. It horrifies, informs and thrills , and you cannot turn away until the very last page. Now that’s how a book should be"

    On: Yorkshire

  • "Parsons handcuffs you from the first page... written with a winning combination of horror and compassion - this is one Wolfe that really bites"

    The Sun

    The Herald
