‘An original and high-octane read, it makes Deliverance look like Picnic at Hanging Rock.’ The Times/Sunday Times Crime Club
‘This slice of outback noir is . . . at once exhilarating, gleefully vicious and totally race-to-the-finish-line unputdownable.’ The Observer
‘An audacious walk on the wildest side of outback noir . . . a vivid thriller.’ The Sydney Morning Herald
‘A perfectly paced, thrilling read with an unrelenting sense of dread and menace . . . building suspense at every turn of the page. Crime and thriller readers will love this savage Rottweiler of a novel that will clamp its jaws around their throat and shake them to the end.’ Books+Publishing
‘Tough, violent, suspenseful and peopled with great characters, The Hunted could well be the Australian thriller of the year. This is Jack Reacher for adults.’ Canberra Weekly
