It lures you into the seductive world of the chat-room, where nothing is quite what it seems, and the mundane shades chillingly into the sinister. There were times when I scarcely dared to turn the page. Magnus Linklater A classic thriller of the highest quality – complex, meticulously researched and skilfully told – but it goes further, taking the genre into cyber-space and giving terror a whole new dimension.

I have never seen such evil leak out of
