Girl 4 - Couverture souple

"There is a vivid - almost cinematic - quality to the writing. It is intense and makes for uncomfortable yet compulsive reading" (News of the World)

"Will Carver's debut crime thriller centres around Detective Inspector January David's efforts to catch a serial killer. A tense and often gory read, this will have readers trying to guess who the killer is from page one" (Press Association)

"This writer will go from strength to strength and I believe we will be hearing a lot more from Mr. Carver." (crimesquad.com)

"Brilliant debut, highly imaginative and so compelling" (milorambles.com)

If he wants to save his own neck and prevent there being a Girl 5, January must get inside the mind of a serial killer and beat him at his own game...
