Review:
"Glorious, cartwheeling, magical, frightening" - Frank Cottrell Boyce, The Guardian; "Irresistible... A tale of murder, corruption, cruelty, faith and redemption with a light dusting of football... Impossible to put down." - TES; [...] intriguing undertones of black magic and some surprising twists. - Daily Telegraph; "The Penalty weaves together slavery, tribal magic and themes of modern-day corruption... Notable for its exceptional humanity, stylistic clarity and neat construction." - The Sunday Times; "Cogently constructed and elegantly written, this latest novel is teenage fiction at its best." - The Guardian; "A heady mix of slavery, football and the occult, this is another intoxicating read from an author who has proved himself an outstanding talent." - Publishing News; "Another superb read from a master storyteller." --The Bookseller
