Critics Review
Gripping, frightening, intelligent and brilliant. - The Times.
Ingeniously plotted, deftly mixing dark and comic scenes, introducing the detective’s team with panache. - Sunday Times.Quirky, brutal and not for the faint-hearted, it is crime fiction of the highest class … Superbly constructed and executed, it puts Lemaitre very close to Ellroy’s class. If you pick it up, you won’t be able to put it down. - Daily Mail.Thrilling … with a page-turning race to a grand-slam finish. - Guardian.About The Author
