—Stephen King

"Terrific . . . A powerful, commanding performance from one of the top writers in the genre."

"A complex, scary thriller that feels too plausible for comfort. You’ll be so absorbed in the story threads that you’ll follow them anywhere—and you’ll suddenly realize you’ve read hundreds of pages. . . . On one level, it’s great entertainment; on another, a window into a sobering possibility."
—Kirkus (starred)

"Absolutely compelling . . . A smart, scary, and all-too-plausible thriller."
