Additional Notes
| From The Publisher* | A pulse-pounding, high-concept new thriller from the author of the "propulsive and original" instant New York Times bestseller The Chain (Stephen King). You should not have come to the island You should not have been speeding You should not have tried to hide the body You should not have told your children that you could keep them safe No one can run forever… |
| Review Quote* | Praise for the instant New York Times bestseller The Chain |
| Review Quote* | "McKinty hangs on to his wit and literacy even under duress...Beneath its surface of high-speed thrills, The Chain is clearly the work of the philosophical thinker McKinty has always been."-Janet Maslin, New York Times |
| Review Quote* | "The pace quickens and the tension builds whenever the mother and daughter appear in a scene. In the end, what makes The Chain so frightening - and why it works so well as a thriller - is that all of Rachel's actions remain completely relatable, even as she whipsaws between terror and determination, morphing from victim to perpetrator."-Tina Jordan, The New York Times |
| Review Quote* | "A deeply unsettling story about the limits of morality, raising questions about the nature of good and evil and the depths of parental love."-Joumana Khatib, New York Times |
| Review Quote* | "This is more than nail-biting; think cuticle-shredding."-Bethanne Patrick, The Washington Post |
| Review Quote* | "A chilling, diabolical page-turner you'll want to savor."-People Magazine, Book of the Week |
| Review Quote* | "Thrillers... don't get much more psychologically rich than The Chain." -David Canfield, Entertainment Weekly |
| Review Quote* | "Told in a spare, punchy style, this is a blazing, full-tilt thriller that entirely justifies the hype."-The Guardian |
| Review Quote* | "The Chain is a straight-up, stone-faced thriller, a present-tense race...thunderous ride into the darkest, most fearful reaches of a parent's mind")-Paddy Hirsch, NPR |
