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 ?The finest work of fiction this year? Time Out ?Peace has single-handedly established the genre of Yorkshire Noir, and mightily satisfying it is. Nineteen Seventy Seven is a must-read thriller' Yorkshire Post ?Peace?s policemen rape prostitutes they are meant to be protecting, torture suspects they know cannot be guilty and reap the profits of organised vice. Peace?s powerful novel exposes a side of life which most of us would prefer to ignore? Daily Mail
