Ratings and reviews

I read this book and found it completely gripping, James Herbert knew the in's and out's of how the police force operates and really encourages the reader to become attached to the main character, fantastic novel, and i Will continue to read his entire collection

Not bad but the ending really let's it down but well worth a read

This is a really good book. I really loved reading the book.
