Shatter
There is a moment when all hope disappears, all pride is gone, all expectation, all faith, all desire. I own that moment. It belongs to me. That's when I hear the sound. the sound of a mind breaking.
It's not a loud crack like when bones shatter or a spine fractures of a skull collapses. And it's not something soft and wet like a heart breaking. It's a sound that makes you wonder how much pain a person can endure; a sound that shatters memories and lets the past leak into the present; a sound so high that only the hounds of hell can hear it.
Can you hear it? Someone is curled up in a tiny ball crying softly into an endless night.
The Times.
'SHATTER is a gripping journey into the weaknesses and strengths of the human psyche, a story of humanity and inhumanity - and of how one can become the other… [It] will have you turning the pages compulsively, desperate to get to the end, but not daring to miss a word.'
The Night Ferry
Val McDermid
'THE NIGHT FERRY is all about the human heart -- heart-stopping, heart-breaking and heart-wrenching.'
Peter James
'It is more than Michael Robotham's characters that leap off the page; he writes in a voice with a haunting sense of soul that stays with you long after you have finished. He rightly deserves to be classed among the very best of British thriller writers.'
Australian Bookseller & Publisher
'Robotham’s books are relentlessly fast-paced and he has a gift for fleshing out the character of a likeable and multifaceted protagonist in the midst of a narrative that starts at a sprint from the first line and doesn’t flag until the last. If excellent characterisation, deft plotting and a light touch count for anything, Michael Robotham is a name that should be on all of our lips.'

Drowning Man (Lost)
Daily Mirror (UK)
'Vincent Ruiz is found clinging to a buoy in the River Thames. He's been shot in the leg and is losing blood and consciousness fast. When he starts to recover he finds he's lost his mind. Or is he feigning amnesia? Robotham tantalisingly ties the loose ends together in his second highly accomplished novel.’
Shots Magazine (UK)
A first rate mystery thriller…It gets violent, dirty and dangerous. Great, satisfying stuff.
