He meets women.

He gains their trust.

He kills them.

That's all Maeve Kerrigan knows about the man she is hunting. Three women have been targeted in their homes by the same sadistic killer. With no sign of a break-in, every indication shows that they let him in.

But the evidence is pointing at a shocking suspect: DI Josh Derwent, Maeve's colleague.

Maeve refuses to believe he could be involved, but how well does she really know him?

Reviews

One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.

—— Guardian

A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness.

—— Independent

'[Hayes] is brilliant at action and military technology'

—— John Dugdale , Sunday Times

Epic and immersive, new and unexpected, and his research into spycraft is deep and compelling

—— Mail on Sunday

Brilliant on the way agents operate and how the US spies on the world

—— Sun

Compelling, nerve-jangling and breathlessly exciting... Totally immersive

—— Irish Independent

An absolutely nail biter of a thriller

—— Glamour

Move over Jason Bourne. CIA operative Kane redefines the smart but vulnerable bad ass super spy in this dazzling cat-and-mouse thriller where the entire globe is a chessboard, and everyone’s playing for keeps

—— Lisa Gardner

Has all the cinematic sweep and verve as Hayes' debut... just as enthralling

—— Financial Times

With vivid descriptions, some terrific action sequences and lashings of suspense, the book ticks all the boxes necessary for a superior geopolitical thriller

—— Guardian

Emerging dazed and somewhat brutalised after two intense days reading this utterly gripping, elegantly written 650-page plus thriller, I can say that it was most definitely worth the wait…Kane is a fantastic character: preternaturally brilliant and brave humble and insightful

—— Alison Flood , Observer
