Review:
"* Recommend Brock and Poole to fans of Dalziel and Pascoe. Booklist on Drumfire "Understated humor, a keep-'em-guessing plot, and a cast of satisfying characters" Booklist on Whiplash "A copper who's as curmudgeonly as Inspector Morse, as intelligent as "A well written police procedural that shows just how tough being a copper really is" Booklist on Light Fantastic"
