Review
Inspired writing. Bad Traffic is a honey: suspense that never loses its grip. (Elmore Leonard)
Lewis's aim was to write a book that was 'fast-paced and pulpy with plenty of action'. He has certainly succeeded, but there's more besides - dark comedy, sensitive characterisation and an incisive rendering of the desperation felt by beleaguered strangers in a foreign land. (Laura Wilson Guardian)
An impressive novel set in a milieu hitherto unused in crime fiction. (Marcel Berlins Sunday Times)
