Reviews

Praise for James H Jackson: 'A thriller that cunningly utilises Jackson's previous career to produce a novel that has real energy and pace... fresh and innovative... A narrative of genuine tension is guaranteed for the reader. And Jackson's conjuring up of his frigid locale will have you pleasurably shivering
