Review by Library Journal Review
Disturbing and bloody African rituals seem to be increasingly part of Bristol's modern criminal landscape in Hayder's series third book (after Birdman and The Treatment). Maverick DI Jack Caffery and police diver Flea Marley discover a pair of recently amputated hands, buried in what seems to be a ritualistic manner-their introduction to this sinister trend. As they investigate, Flea struggles to find new ways of dealing with the deaths of her parents in a diving accident the year before. Both Jack and Flea are tough and appealing characters, both of whom are balancing their policing skills with their personal demons. Reader Andrew Wincott brings skill and verve to a variety of British dialects. Verdict Recommended.-Kristen L. Smith, Loras Coll. Lib., Dubuque, IA (c) Copyright 2014.
