“So fresh and clever and compelling. I don’t know when I last turned pages so quickly.”
Ian Rankin
“I really don’t know how Jason Starr does it: I start out thinking I’m only going to read a chapter and an hour later I’m on page eighty.”
Bret Easton Ellis
“A paranoid noir freakout playing its own one-of-a-kind game… and a shameless page-turner.”
Joe Hill
“An audacious mindbender of a novel. A high-octane cocktail of infidelity, murder and alternate realities, served up straight from The Twilight Zone.”
Wallace Stroby
“Beautifully and perfectly crafted. Halfway between Christopher Nolan’s Memento and a story by Philip K. Dick. Jason Starr is one of the sharpest, most entertaining writers of crime fiction working today, and this book will bend your brain. Strongly recommended.
Matteo Strukul
“It might be my favorite of his books ever. I read it in one day and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Highly recommended.”

“Jason Starr is one of the sharpest, most entertaining writers of crime fiction working today, and this book will bend your brain. Strongly recommended.”

“As in the best nightmarish noir, Starr ups the ante”

Locus
“An adrenaline rush of a read that’s exhilarating, frightening, violent, hallucinatory, and I-can’t-believe-that-just-happened shock-inducing.”
Criminal Element
“Starr melds noir and a multiverse narrative to create a sinuous, high-wire act of a novel. It’s an unabashed page-turner.”
Crimereads
