I was completely gripped. As the plot unfolded, I found myself constantly surprised. Jon Evans's plotting is excellent, and he has obviously travelled widely - all the details are clearly authentic and I found myself interested in the locations as much as the plot. The internet aspect of the story was intriguing, and at the end all the strands were tied up perfectly. I never wanted to put the book down. (Emily Barr)

Off the beaten track. On the trail of a serial killer. A stunning debut backpacker thriller for THE BEACH generation.
