Review:

'Ford’s sense of place is extraordinary... This is the work of a formidably talented novelist’ -- Newsweek

'Ford’s taut, compelling prose is as piercingly clear as police siren. No other storyteller writes about the alienated and uncommitted with such mastery’ -- Penny Perrick, Sunday Times

'So hard-boiled and tough that it might have been written on the back of a trenchcoat. A grand 'Maltese Falcon’ of a novel’ -- Stanley Elkin
