"The book is quite possibly Harvey’s most authoritative in years: visceral, engaged and yes, unputdownable."
Barry Forshaw: The Independent
"His finest book in a long time, if not ever. ... it confirms Harvey as one of out most accomplished writers in any genre."
Susanna Yager: Sunday Telegraph
"Could John Harvey be the UK’s greatest living crime writer – better even than Rankin, McDermid, James, Cole, Billingham and the rest? Certainly."
Henry Sutton: The Mirror
"This is a powerful, uncompromising, perhaps brave book ..."
James Urquhart, Financial Times
"Harvey is as good a chronicler of British life as the Ten O'Clock News."
