“Gerald Imber’s kickass new thriller will keep you turning pages into the night—this year’s must-read detective novel.” — Mary Karr, author of The Liar’s Club and Lit
“Imber’s debut is a fast-paced thriller with plenty of twists, and the author shows a deft hand at including just the right medical details. Imber is a well-known New York City plastic surgeon with several beauty books to his credit.” — Booklist
“Wendell Black, a middle-aged police surgeon for the NYPD, evolves into an action hero reminiscent of John McClane, Bruce Willis’s character in the Die Hard series, in plastic surgeon Imber’s well-written first novel.” — Publishers Weekly
“A high-stakes debut…. The scenes are filled with clever language and rich descriptions…. A heck of a story, with a hero who deserves a series of books.” — Kirkus Reviews
