Kirk Hammett
“It’s the story before Silence of the Lambs. I remember buying that book on a fluke and flying through it in like 3 days, and all of a sudden seeing Silence of the Lambs, going oh my god, there’s a movie. But that’s a really great book.”↗
Michael Connelly
“I think this is possibly the most influential crime novel in the last 40 years. It is totally absorbing and thrilling and it brought all the advancements of technology, psychology and law enforcement into play in a masterfully constructed story. All of that and throw in one of the greatest literary villains and a damn good hero and you have one of the best books of any kind.”↗
