Review:

"... compares favorably with the work of the popular author of tartan noir, Ian Rankin ... McDowall expertly manages a complicated plot and has created realistic, albeit troubled characters ... a compelling, fast-moving story that leaves the reader wondering where he will go from here" -- Publishers Weekly, USA

"Smart cop, tough cop combinations seem to be all the rage just now and DS Ian Kerr and DCI Frank Jacobson of Crowby CID are no exception. McDowall has come up with a pair who could hold their own with Dalziell and Pascoe" -- The Northern Echo, UK
