Author:Leif Davidsen
Peter Lime is trained to hunt down his prey and catch them on film. But now he is the one being hunted. Whose prey has he become? And what is it that he has that these people will kill to get? Lime is a Danish paparazzo, living in Madrid. For more than 20 years he has stalked and captured the rich and famous on film, making vast sums of money from exposing their secrets - the more salacious the image, the bigger the fee. But lately he's been thinking of giving it up. His wife and child have changed his life, and now he dreams of doing a job that his daughter can be proud of. Then he goes on a routine assignment, snapping a Spanish minister out sailing with his mistress, and suddenly his world is turned upside down. When a fire destroys his home, but not all of his photographs, Lime sets out to discover a motive and finds himself drawn into the complex and terrifying web of international terrorism.
Quite simply the best debut novel I've ever read.
—— Tess GerritsenBrilliant in its pacing, profound in its central question, suspenseful on every page - and satisfying in its thriller ending.
—— Anita ShreveA deft, perceptive exploration of a fascinating neurological condition, and a cracking good thriller.
—— Lionel ShriverA terrific first novel - well-written, genuinely unsettling and psychologically very plausible. Thrillers seldom come much better than this. Loved it, read it in one
—— Joanne HarrisAn exceptional thriller. It left my nerves jangling for hours after I finished the last page
—— Dennis LehaneSo high-concept, so ambitious and so structurally brilliant. It's so rare to read a thriller that's perfect in every detail, but this one definitely qualifies!
—— Sophie HannahA deeply unsettling debut that asks the most terrifying question - what do you have left when you lose yourself?
—— Val McDermidA truly amazing debut. The central character, Christine, is beautifully drawn. It's hard to imagine a more compelling, believable and sympathetic portrayal of a damaged human being. I loved it from start to finish.
—— Mo HayderPlenty of politics, high and low and the portrayal of college life and vicious, teeming with sycophants and thick with double dealing
—— GuardianPears brings to life a vibrant 17th-century world...a tour de force
—— Daily TelegraphCrammed with period detail, it's as much a novel of ideas as it is of character
—— Val McDermid , The Week
