Captured

“Once again, Neil Cross proves that he’s not just a master of suspense, but horror too. Reading his ultra-crisp prose and expertly structured tales, it’s not hard to see why he’s also an uber-successful screenwriter.” —Daily Mirror

“A psychological thriller for which the term ‘page-turner’ might have been coined. . . . [Captured] certainly thrills.” —Metro

“Cross’ work is generally very scabrous stuff indeed: blood-boltered, hard-edged and sardonically funny. . . . As in the earlier Burial and Mr In-Between, Cross demonstrates a willingness to plunge into those areas other thriller writers shy away from; while the surface of the book has all the disturbing filigrees one might expect, this book (like its predecessors) is very much a novel of character.” —Crime Time

“Cross is a wonderful writer, full of mordant psychological insights. . . . Britain’s own Stephen King.” —The Guardian

“Cross’s clear, precise style makes for a compelling, read-in-one-sitting thriller. Yet there is more to this novel—brooding questions of morality, mortality and responsibility.” —The Word

“Typically gripping.” —Uncut

“Original and thoughtful . . . an authentic, unsparing vision of goodwill undone by misfortune.” —The Times Literary Supplement

“Gripping.” —The Scotsman
