The new Silence of the Lambs, complete with female Hannibal Lecter and a cracking twist. Sensational.— Lisa Gardner

'Expect the unexpected, intense from the opening page!'— Best

Knight's first novel, Wink Murder, was smart, well-written, and genuinely thrilling, and I raved about it. This is her fourth, and it is even better. She has created a terrific villain, fiendishly clever.— Daily Mail

Praise for WINK MURDER— :

Jo Nesbo, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ali Knight— Independent Books of the Year 2011

'A really enjoyable read.'— Martina Cole

'Crackles from first page to last.'— Daily Mail

'Tightly-plotted, high-pitched psychological thriller . . . what bright new talent Ali Knight does so successfully, and with a welcome fresh eye, is broach the great divide between public and private space.' ****— Daily Mirror
