City of the Sun is all kinds of trouble. For one thing, it becomes really hard to break away to deal with the rest of the day. Then there's the recurring need to take deep, calming breaths throughout . . . a rare thriller where the outcome is genuinely in doubt
New York Daily News
A perfect modern "noir" tale
Sunday Express
A writer who takes dead, calculated aim at our deepest fears
Entertainment Weekly
CITY OF THE SUN is hard, mean, beautiful, touching -- a dazzling novel. With this book, David Levien has placed himself among the best writers in the field. Elvis Cole and Joe Pike would be proud to call ex-cop Frank Behr their friend
ROBERT CRAIS
Excellent . . . I can't wait for more
Independent on Sunday
Frightfully realistic . . . a master character portrait . . . a nerve-jangling novel that places average people in extraordinary situations
USA Today
Gripping . . . Levien's skill is to chart the emotional plight of the parents within the twists and turns of a fast-moving and complex plot
Mirror
Heart-stopping suspense and a heartbreaking story
LEE CHILD
One of the toughest, most gut-wrenching, and most believable suspense novels I've ever encountered. If David Levien pulled any punches, I was too dazed to notice
LINCOLN CHILD
Relentless suspense that will not let you out of its grasp, and a cast of characters who are so utterly real you'll forget you're reading fiction. David Levien's novel is moody, riveting, and special
HARLAN COBEN
The best thing about this high-gloss, high-concept thriller is that it is actually a proper, well-written book, not merely a treatment in disguise, which delivers on its initial promise and packs an unexpectedly hefty emotional punch
Guardian
The most impressive crime debut of the year . . . grips from the off
