Media Reviews
A bleak portrait of those times, written in a stylised prose that takes a few pages to attune to but which admirably suits the subject matter. It's black and moving. * The Observer *
Peace has found his own voice - full of dazzling, intense poetry and visceral violence * Uncut *
His best yet, a top-drawer thriller which grabs the reader by the scruff of the neck and doesn't let go until the last page...His writing these days stands in comparison with American masters like Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy and Walter Mosley... Another winner from David Peace, whose name on the cover is these days a guarantee of excellence, a must-read thriller of originality and style that confirms him to be one of the best crime writers anywhere. * Yorkshire Post *
He has found his own, equally experimental, approach and it further enhances the oppressively sombre tone... an impressive addition to the noir genre. * Metro *
Read a book by David Peace. If you want to know what Leeds was like in the 70s and early 80s then David Peace is the authority. * Leeds Guide *
The pace is relentless, the violence gut-wrenching, the style staccato-plus and the morality bleak and forlorn, but Peace' s voice is powerful and unique. This is compelling stuff that will leave no one indifferent. * Guardian *
David Peace is British crime fiction's most exciting new voice in decades. * GQ *
