Exciting ... a guaranteed bestseller' Literary Review `New Logan McRae novels are close to the top of my unmissable list, and yet again MacBride delivers. His chaotic cop hero is at his best. Superb storytelling' Sun `Another from MacBride's fantastic series of Logan McRae novels. A real page-turner' Sunday Mirror `Stuart's meticulous research shows. At times it feels like you are sitting in the back of a police car overhearing conversations between real policemen' Sunday Sport `Another riveting page-turner ... emotional and affecting.' Independent on Sunday `Skilful storytelling ... strong characterisation ... both intriguing and engrossing' Laura Wilson, Guardian `The multiple plots move fast' Independent Praise for Stuart MacBride: `MacBride is the natural heir to the late and much lamented Reginald Hill' Andrew Taylor, Spectator `MacBride is a damned fine writer - no one does dark and gritty like him' Peter James `Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order' Mark Billingham `Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field' Independent `Admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven - or should that be hell?' Express `Ferocious and funny' Val McDermid `Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride's novels are a real treat' Simon Kernick
