Media Reviews
'Another excellent book by Graham Hurley... a good story, carefully plotted and with a gritty and realistic appreciation of the setting in Portsmouth.' CRIMESQUAD 'Another powerful novel... Graham Hurley does two things exceptionally well, and these plots intertwine because of those two things. One is to detail the urban blight of Portsmouth, the decay, the moral rot of crime within the city... Hurley's other skill is in understanding the internal dynamics of the police force, the way policing is sacrificed in favour of statistics.' CRIMETIME 'As the gripping plots intertwine, Hurley once again unearths, with realism, the moral rot of crime within the city, while delving into the internal dynamics of the police force. The results are simply riveting. A writer who deserves to win the Crime Novel of the Year for which he has twice been nominated!' PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH 'This is Graham Hurley on his usual fine form, combining style in slick thriller prose and pace, and substance in a story which has interesting things to say about sink estates and modern policing.' WESTERN MORNING NEWS 'Graham Hurleys position in the British crime-writing firmament is assured. His style is quietly individual, though he has admitted to being influence by John le Carre, Len Deighton, John D MacDonald, and contemporary American writers like James Lee Burke. His books shy away from over-graphic violence, but have no problem comprehensively gripping the reader.' -- GOOD BOOK GUIDE Barry Forshaw
