Media Reviews
?Quite simply, this is the future of British crime fiction... the finest work of literature I?ve read this year - and its ending is as extraordinary and original as what precedes it? Time Out ?With a human landscape that is violent and unrelentingly bleak, Peace?s fiction is two or three shades the other side of noir? New Statesman ?One hell of a read? Crime Time
