Ted Allbeury
"Allbeury's people are real in the sense that Greene's or Maugham's are."

The Devil in Disguise (1998)
(Harry Devlin, book 6)
Martin Edwards
"How good to find a crime novel that doesn't rely on lurid violence to beat you into submission. Instead, here's solid storytelling everyday, Liverpool legal background and a nice scattering of perky jokes."
