MEDIA REVIEWS
For many years [James] has been writing some of the most potent crime fiction in Britain. * Marcel Berlins, The Times *
Essential reading. * Observer *
Most other British police writers are foam rubber truncheons to James's iron riot baton. * Time Out *
Deliciously unsavoury. * Guardian *
Another dodgy gavotte by the master of the revels ... brilliant. * Literary Review *
Dazzles ... a modern morality play of epic scope. * Publishers Weekly *
