A wonderfully creepy voice, macabre and blackly comic with a deeply unsettling and original hero.

There is a delicious feeling of complicity in his misdemeanours: Heming gets in side your head as easily as he gets into his neighbours' houses... a superbly plotted and genuinely creepy novel. it deserves to be a bestseller.

One to watch: an eerie page-turner.
Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Bookseller
-
The first-person portrayal of a truly cold-blooded protagonist is a hard thing to pull off, especially one whose outward appearance is so benign but Phil Hogan has created an antihero horrifically ruthless and disquieting.
Guardian

You'll definitely want to change your locks after reading this original and darkly funny novel that will send shivers down your spine.
