It’s a place smouldering with secrets, darkness and danger where loyalties blur and motives shift and change. Continuing on from Gabriel’s Moon and The Predicament, the third book is another tautly woven mystery showing Boyd’s storytelling genius. ‘Boyd does shadowy worlds and moral complexity better than anyone’ (The Observer).
