Critics Review
An absolute roller coaster of a read * Liz Nugent *
What a ride?! Ajay Chowdhury packs in colonialism, state-sponsored theft, centuries of history, contemporary corruption and cold blooded murder into this pacy, ingenuously crafted mystery. A wonderful read that you’ll want to go on and on. I loved it. * Graham Bartlett *
The world’s most coveted and cursed diamond, an impossible heist, and London’s most captivating crime fighting couple, make The Patriot an irresistible read. * Paul Waters *
A clever, compelling thriller with a terrific sense of place and tension that builds to the very end. * RC Bridgestock *
A cleverly plotted, razor-sharp heist-meets-whodunnit that fizzes with intrigue from the first page. Chowdhury creates an immersive world combining the energy of contemporary London with a meticulously researched history of one of the city’s oldest and most iconic landmarks – fascinating, fun, and highly recommended. * CJ Merritt *
