Critics Review

Extraordinary … a police procedural unlike anything else in contemporary crime fiction, drawing on Norek’s experience during 18 years in the French force – Joan Smith * The Times *
Diamond-hard, unrelenting Gallic crime fiction with a telling strand of social history – Barry Forshaw * Financial Times Best Summer Books of 2024 *
My expectations were more than met … Vivid scene-setting and a fine translation by Nick Caistor keep the narrative flowing quickly in this absorbing, topical story * Financial Times *
