Review
The biggest compliment I can pay Yorkshireman Steve Mosby is that he writes like the very best American thriller writers - with great focus, excellent plot ideas and a real feeling for exposing violence and cruelty. And, at the same time, he finds space for descriptive passages that enthral and enlighten. ... Cancel all other engagements for the day. (Matthew Lewin THE GUARDIAN)
this is a real page-turner of a book ... Mosby is definitely here to stay and a name to watch for the future. (CRIMESQUAD.COM)
Mosby has put his many talents to work on a much more impressive novel, which feels painfully realistic ... his writing [is] at its most imaginative and involving ... poignant and moving, yet it is written in a relaxed, often funny, style that makes the pages turn very fast indeed. (Natasha Cooper TLS)
"There is always a fresh, original slant to Mosby's writing. Excellent at capturing contemporary lifestyles and concerns, this is engaging story-telling delivered with panache and assurance." (DEADLY PLEASURES)
