'This fast, furious, twisty thriller kept me on the edge of my seat' Chris Ryan

'If Stephen King had collaborated with Michael Crichton on a thriller, it might have been as good as this' Peterborough Evening Telegraph

A UNEXPLAINED DEATH

The discovery of a horribly mutilated corpse launches FBI Agent Rose Blake into a puzzling investigation. The victim was alone at home with no signs of forced entry. Who - or what - burnt him to death?

THE GAME BEGINS

Strips of rubber melted to the body emerge as evidence that the victim was wearing The Skin, an innovation that takes users deep into a virtual world.

ESCAPE OR DIE...

When a body with identical wounds is discovered, Rose realises that in the darkest corners of the Dark Web, a brutal killer is playing a deadly game. A game with no rules - and no mercy. To stop it, Rose must play too...

Critic Reviews

This fast, furious, twisty thriller kept me on the edge of my seat (Chris Ryan)
If Stephen King had collaborated with Michael Crichton on a thriller, it might have been as good as this. It's a grab-you-by-the-throat page-ripper'
What starts as a gripping killer thriller morphs into a serious and frankly scary examination of the possible threats the development of AI poses for humanity
An edgy, pacy, futuristic and oh so very polished cyber thriller (www.trevtwinem.booklikes.com)
Grips you from the beginning and races to a most exciting and enigmatic ending (5 stars, www.crimesquad.com)

'Scarrow's [novels] rank with the best'
Gripping... [Scarrow's] sense of plot and pace is strong
Intrigue, treachery and violence... intense action, beguiling characters and authentic detail

Gripping... Ferocious and compelling
An amazing roller-coaster of a ride... Fantastic... A cracking historical thriller (Manda Scott)
