By Force Alone (2020)
(Anti-Matter of Britain Quartet, book 1)
Lavie Tidhar
"Utterly bonkers, utterly brilliant – a brutal, witty and slightly insane deconstruction of the Arthurian legend by way of Goodfellas, this is absolute bloody (and sweary) joy on the page."
thumb
Clearing The Dark (2019)
(Dania Gorska, book 2)
Hania Allen
"Pitch-perfect . . . a witty, tense crime novel written in a highly readable style."
thumb
Bloody January (2017)
(Harry McCoy, book 1)
Alan Parks
"A barnstormer of a crime novel that takes the police procedural and gives it a well-deserved shake. Detective Harry McCoy digs under the surface of 70s Glasgow in all its contradictory glory. Bloody January is relentlessly readable and so well written I couldn't believe it was a debut."
