I Saw A Man

An exemplary domestic thriller, with an unstoppable plot and lots of expertly detonated surprises.

A tense, intelligent page-turner.

A gripping and stylish thriller ... finely tuned suspense that erupts into visceral drama ... An award-winning poet, his honed prose is full of images of photographic sharpness that leap from the page. But this is also a novel driven by ideas, which, in keeping with its central theme, spins out across the world ... bold and satisfying.

Extraordinarily tense and powerful, and beautifully written

Sheers' thriller is driven as much by subtle ideas as suspense ... psychologically astute ... Sheers writes carefully about careless people and the results present the reader with a reflective window on to self-deception ... a clever novel.

It twists and turns and plays its cards close to its chest, showing its full hand only in the final pages, when we are forced to reassess everything that has gone before ... taut as a thriller, but resonant with motifs of intimacy and distance, guilt and redemption, and the nature of stories and storytelling.
