Stephen Laws does it again, it' been a long wait for another of his novels, but worth it.This one is set on the Northumberland moors where it seems a "big cat" could be stalking the livestock. It's only a matter of time before it gets a human victim! There have always been rumours of sightings of large cats on the moors of the U.K. and Scotland. Stephen Laws goes for the jugular here and creates a believable novel of thrills and tension.the story centres on Cath Lane and her daughter who live on the lonely. windswept moors, also living not so far away is Drew Hall, a lonely guy who thrives on the bleak life on the moors. These two lonely individuals are bought together to face up to the possibilty of these big cats. More than that is about to descend into their secluded world. Three desperate criminals are about to change their lives forever. This is a well written novel with great characters you actually find yourself caring about. That is always the case with Mr. Laws , he creates characters you can grow to admire and perhaps on ocassion identify with. At the same time his three villains jump off the page and are truly terrifying. Grab a good read, you won't be able to put this one down.

This is more of a character driven book than Laws' previous ones with little that is visual or visceral. The main characters are well fleshed out and believable if slightly clichéd
The main problem with the book is that there is nothing special in it.
It is ok not good, the pace is ok not quick, the characters are ok not interesting, and so on.
There are some good bits and he generates some tension at the finale but there just isn't enough tension or imagination.
It is a workman-like book by a good author who isn't trying very hard.
If you have read all the other books by Laws then you'll enjoy this a little, otherwise spend your money on one of the others (all except for Spectre deserve 4 or 5 stars).
