Critics Review
James Fleming, nephew of Ian is a class act: a brilliant, pacy storyteller with a muscular prose style
Bitterly gruesome…Ultra-masculine…Mesmeric…James Fleming’s text sings with finely tuned nature notes – Andrew Barrow * Literary Review *Relentless energy and garrulous black humour ….An original and talented voice – Adam Lively * The Sunday Times *James Fleming, nephew of Ian is a class act: a brilliant, pacy storyteller with a muscular prose style – Max Davidson * Mail on Sunday *Extraordinary use of plot and pace and language…this is a thriller, no bones about it. For anyone who feels that there aren’t enough armoured trains in today’s popular fiction, or enough murderous White Russians with God and destiny on their side - and I am one - this book is a must – Giles Whittell * The Times *Doig is the right kind of hero: virile, ruthless, adventurous * Independent *
