Review:
Utterly engaging... The series' page-turning credentials remain more than intact * Independent on Sunday Books of the Year * Just as we become used to (and are perhaps wearying of) the influx of foreign crime novels, here comes Mark Billingham with a thoroughly British police thriller * Time Out * With DI Tom Thorne's 10th outing, Mark Billingham proves he's a real contender for the title of the nation's top crime writer * Daily Mirror * The best thrillers make you see familiar territory in a new light. Mark Billingham has always done that * Sunday Telegraph * Taut and tense, with an unusually sympathetic hostage-taker * The Times * A rollercoaster of a read... confirms Billingham's status as one of the finest crime writers around * Daily Express *
