Description: Praise for Philip Kerr PRAYER "Kerr has an unteachable gift for suspense." - USA Today "Tantalizingly creepy." - The Observer "Here moral complexity is raised to a new high in a contemporary psychological thriller that is eerily terrifying and disturbing" - Library Journal , starred review "A real page-turner that may just have everyone rethinking the monumental power that faith can provide ortake away in the blink of an eye." - Suspense Magazine "Provocative... Evocative phrasing is another plus in this exceptional thriller." - Publishers Weekly "A compelling and unsettling change of pace for the popular Kerr." - Booklist "A fright-filled meditation on faithThe book entertains and makes you think." - Dallas Morning News " Prayer brilliantly explores the world of God, guns and the nature of goodness without sacrificing suspense or story." - Minneapolis Star Tribune "A rum beast that uses the cosy familiarity of the thriller form to buttress a fantastical supernatural plot...As fans of his Berlin-set Bernie Gunther novels will know, Kerr is a details man. His deep-level research brings Houston and its environs to dusty, sun-bleached life. Martins' narration, too, is deftly handled Prayer demands to be read more than once." - The Guardian "When Kerr goes off-piste, as he does here, the freedom sends his imagination into some very peculiar places. Who else could make a crackling thriller out of the current debate between religion and atheism'...What if the Almighty exists, but is horrible? The story unfolds at a white-knuckle pace, with a sense of the unknown that is genuinely disturbing." - The Sunday Times
