THE GRIPPING CAT-AND-MOUSE THRILLER, PERFECT FOR FANS OF MINORITY REPORT AND BLAKE CROUCH
'Will have you on the edge of your seat' SUNDAY EXPRESS
'An mind-blowing speculative techno thriller with a killer twist!' DIANE JEFFREY
'Mind-bendingly cunning' FINANCIAL TIMES
_________
All over the world, random people are being brutally assassinated.
Each death is unique, but they all have one thing in common: four numbers branded or carved into the victims' flesh.
What does it mean?
For the brilliant and haunted CIA analyst Quinn Mitchell, it means leaving a safe and predictable desk job as she tries to track down a global serial killer.
What she doesn't know is that nothing about this mission - her handlers, the intelligence, even the laws of cause and effect - can be trusted.
And her target has saved his most shocking murder for last . . .
