Inspired by an eerie ancient legend, Sacrifice is a chilling, mesmerising debut thriller. S. J. Bolton is one to watch

Part forensic-thriller, part medical-thriller, Sacrifice combines both elements to great effect in
this atmospheric and original debut

This slick, fast moving thriller has a cracking opening scene and goes on to develop into a gripping story of intrigue and adventure . . . An interesting and skilful debut

A narrative that can grip you like a vice... As engaging a hero as you could wish for.

Once again, Chris Reich is firing on all cylinders. Rules of Deception is a supple, elegant thriller with a beguiling sophistication. Reich catches the reader on page one and utterly commands you to finish through a plot that carries triumphantly from one thrilling climax to another. He certainly knows how to manipulate the reader in exciting ways, and he's an expert (as his award winning The Patriots Club proved) in creating a riveting imagined world so real you wonder if it was actually imagined.

RULES OF DECEPTION is an ingenious thriller set credibly in the shadowy world of international espionage. This one has it all: well-drawn characters, wonderful writing, exotic settings, and a high-tech terrorist plot that will keep you breathlessly racing along right through its electrifying climax.

There's a reason why Christopher Reich is a superstar writer. You'll find it on page one of this book. And page two. And page three ... and all the way to the vivid end of this great new thriller.

RULES OF DECEPTION is an intense, impossible-to-put down spy novel-like Robert Ludlum at his very best.

He's the equal of such masters of suspense as Ken Follett and Frederick Forsyth. This first-class adrenaline fest will leave readers guessing until the last page.

A good old-fashioned thriller

One of the genre's most enduring heroes. Tough, solitary, righteous and incorruptible, [Reacher] harks back to another great fictional detective, Philip Marlowe.

A new Jack Reacher novel arrives as the year's first red-hot beach book...the success of these books rests partly on the big, hulking shoulders of their charismatic hero...one of the most enduring action heroes on the American landscape.

This haunting, stand-alone novel is a subtler work than Child's previous output and offers a sensitively handled romantic sub-plot to boot.

Child presses all the buttons... Another awesome performance

Brings a shock of moral horror that is unprecedented in Reacher novels

Utterly compelling... one of Child's best. He keeps up the lightning pace, great writing and punchy one-liners throughout

A contender for top thriller of 2010

A turbo-charged page-flipper: you're on page 300 before you take a breath...Child is a master of distances, spaces and the physics of opposing forces
