CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR TONY BLACK



"a compelling and convincing portrayer of raw emotions in a vicious milieu"

The Times



"if you're a fan of Ian Rankin, Denise Mina or Irvine Welsh, this is most certainly one for you"

The Scotsman



"Black renders his nocotine-stained domain in a hardboiled slang that fizzles with vicious verisimilitude"

The Guardian



"Ripping, gutsy prose and a witty wreck of a protagonist makes this another exceptionally compelling, bright and even original thriller"

The Mirror



"Comparisons with Rebus will be obvious. But that would be too easy... Black has put his defiant, kick-ass stamp on his leading man, creating a character that deftly carries the story through every razor-sharp twist and harrowing turn."

Daily Record



"An authentic yet unique voice, Tony Black shows why he is leading the pack in British crime fiction today. Atmospherically driven, the taut and sparse prose is as near to the bone as you are ever likely to encounter in crime noir. Powerful."

New York Journal of Books



"With comparisons to the like of Irvine Welsh and William McIlvanney echoing in his ears, Tony Black has become a top-class author in his own right."

3AM Magazine



"Sharp pacing and with a wonderful narrative, Black delivers a book that can't be put down and will stick with you after reading. If this were Nascar, Black would be holding a lot of checkered flags."
