Industry Reviews "This novel breaks rules and gets away with it. It looks like a thriller, acts like a character study and leaves the reader pondering its own narrative structure....[D]espite leaving some questions unanswered, THE FABRIC OF NIGHT is absorbing and strangely satisfying." (01/28/2007)
