The author draws heavily on the classic of the thriller genre, from Cornwell's Scarpetta and Thomas Harris through James Patterson, John Grisham, Dan Brown, Stieg Larsson and A.K. Alexander, to produce a truly unique and ground-breaking debut novel.
Would you trust a convicted sex offender to help you find your daughter's killer? Claire did...

At once disquieting and challenging, Sugar & Spice is car-crash reading.
