English
"No police procedural conveys a more authentic-seeming picture of what modern British policing's really like than Graham Hurley's excellent series . . . another first-rate thriller from a writer who is firmly up there with the best." —Sunday Telegraph"One of Britain's most credible official sleuths, crisscrossing the mean streets of a city that is a brilliantly depicted microcosm of contemporary Britain. His investigations are realistic and authoritative, perhaps as a result of Hurley's background in documentary films . . . a sterling demonstration of the way crime writing can target society's woes." —Guardian"There is no doubt that his series of police procedural novels is one of the best since the genre was invented more than half a century ago." —The Literary Review
