A chilling supernatural thriller by rising literary star Michael Koryta (Wall Street Journal)

THE RIDGE' is a classically good mystery that's also regionally fascinating . . . Koryta's tales stand out because of the quirks he spins in - a haunted piano, a too-conveniently-located rural tavern, a closed paper's newsroom - quirks that add up to that rarest of things: a summer mystery that's both spooky and incredibly funny. (New Yorker)

Particularly powerful when revealing the telling details of those who are isolated - by profession, by geography, by temperament. It's admirable to attempt a ghost story that can withstand the cynical scepticism of our time while engaging the reader with characters who struggle with all-too-real dilemmas. Here, Koryta has created a vivid world that's hard to shake for days after the book is finished. In THE RIDGE, he has delivered a nuanced supernatural thriller worthy of the praise he's received and that is surely yet to come. (Los Angeles Times)

The choice is simple: Kill or be killed . . . Koryta, whose affection for the big cats and those who care for them is contagious, has produced a supernatural thriller that will raise goosebumps the size of golf balls. (Kirkus)
