Criminals

A decent, harried young banker travels north to Scotland and his mysteriously troubled sister. A single mother struggles to make a home for her family in a society she only vaguely comprehends. A baby girl is abandoned in a bus station and picked up by a stranger. A caller leaves threatening messages. Brilliantly structured and tense as a thriller, CRIMNINALS shows how the best intentions can have the worst results - and how families pull together, form themselves anew, and occasionally, tear apart.

—— Guardian

A huge, mesmerizing, galloping read

Donna Tartt is an amazingly good writer. She's dense, she's allusive. She's a gorgeous storyteller

—— Stephen King

Takes my breath away

—— Ruth Rendell

Brilliant and compulsive

—— Evening Standard

A haunting, compelling, and brilliant piece of fiction ... Packed with literary allusion and told with a sophistication and texture that owes much more to the nineteenth century than to the twentieth
