PRAISE FOR ROBERT RUTHERFORD:
Robert Rutherford hasn't just dipped his toes into the thriller genre; he's dived in headfirst. And the result is spectacular - a genuine edge-of-your-seat, thrill-a-minute adrenaline rush. Highly recommended
An absolute rip-roaring, globetrotting, adrenaline-fuelled thriller! The jeopardy seeps from the page, and the tension keeps ratcheting up until it's almost unbearable! Surely set to be a bestseller in 2024!
A race-against-time thriller that blends slick plotting with the flair of hard-boiled crime. A pacy and punchy read that will keep you thinking for seven days or more!
A tense, snappy, charged thriller, with complex family relationships, a great twist halfway, and brilliant locations
A cracking read. Great tension, good characterisation and a really interesting twist on a serial killer narrative. A five-star read
This was as pacy as it gets, racing through the North East, Paris and New York. Tightly plotted, sharp on character, and huge in scale
