Hurley’s twists and action are electrifying–DAILY TELEGRAPHAs good a read as you’ll ever get… A wonderful, wonderful thriller writer–DAILY MIRRORSplendidly gritty…most enjoyable–FHMThe often sordid life of a large British city is caught with pinpoint accuracy, together with a host of realistic characters on both sides of the law… A splendid achievement–GUARDIANThis is how a crime novel should be written, and it pushes Hurley right to the forefront of British crime writers, which is where he richly deserves to be–INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
