REVIEWS
“One of the most stunning suspense novels of the year, so offbeat that it will mesmerize readers who never ordinarily read ‘mysteries’ at all. David Lindsey’s special skill lies not only in the intensity of the steadily mounting horror...but in the rich characterizations of his people. Not until we are well into this spellbinding novel do we begin to get a glimmer of the mind at work behind it all.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A solid, literate thriller with one extra grabber: the murderer’s truly creepy modus operandi. This is absorbing, grisly yet tasteful crime-fiction–with leanly vivid Houston atmosphere, persuasive detailing, and a subtly ghoulish mood throughout.“
Kirkus Reviews
“Terrific … one of the scariest novels I have ever read…this book is begging to be filmed.”
The Washington Post
“…absolutely riveting…this book is more than a good read…a real stunner.“
Houston Chronicle
“…one of the most chilling suspense novels of the year…makes Houston look like the ninth circle of hell.“
Penthouse Magazine
“…a superior novel of grim realism.”
Atlanta Constitution
“Lindsey is a writer, a real novelist who happens to be working in the suspense field, and he knows exactly how to keep the pressure on, the tension building, in a grisly story rich in characterization, insight and description.”
Chicago Tribune (Sunday)

The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
“…moves so smoothly it defies you to put it down…(Lindsey) is a first-class writer...a mere synopsis doesn’t begin to convey how absorbing this is…”
Minneapolis Tribune
“…a stunning story with a real twist…Lindsey writes beyond the usual genre of mystery stories. If the movie-makers don’t buy this one for filming, they are missing a winner. Lindsey has written a story you won’t forget.”
