Review:
"Tom Bale is one of the best British thriller writers around" (Simon Kernick)
"This fast-paced British thriller will have you on the edge of your seat as it reaches its dramatic conclusion." (The Sun)
"Races along to a gripping finish" (Sunday Mirror)
"Tom Bale’s awareness of the old creative writing mantra “character is destiny” pays off addictively in The Catch...solid, purposeful and well written" (Guardian)
"Bale manages to keep the momentum going by switching between the lives of the various characters while keeping his eye on the overall theme" (Lloyd Paige)
"The original Tom Bale is working his way to the top of the Brit thriller writer pile" (Sunday Sport)
"A good, well-executed, distinctly British thriller, that is certainly worth checking out, and having already purchased a copy of ‘Skin and Bones’ on the strength of this one, I’m glad to have discovered a new author" (Raven Crime Reads)
"It’s a bloody and at times rather squalid tale as well as a gripping and unusual one. Bale specialises in villains who have believable motives for their actions but are none the less appalling for all that" (Morning Star)
"On page one I was gripped by Bale’s faultless narrative, by the final page I was left in a state of awe at his storytelling skills... The prose is masterful... All in all I have to say that The Catch is an everyman novel with an acute difference, instead of offering forward a potential hero, you are offered characters trying to get away with murder. I loved its intense pace, top notch characterisation and moralistic questioning" (Crime Squad)
"A clever tale of unintended consequences... Tom Bale manages to balance the seemingly ordinariness of his characters with their facility for lying and self-deception in such a way that you still can’t help but hope that they survive the nastiness that is heading their way like a runaway train" (Shots)

Friendship is pushed to the limit when two young men flee from an accidental death. But the victim has powerful friends, and soon there is a predator on their trail. Unputdownable suspense from the author of Skin and Bones.
