About this title

Review

John Connor's debut novel Phoenix starts as just about the most impresive police procedural that I've ever read - and one of the most authentic, presumably since Connor is a lawyer with the CPS ... His style and approach are quite unusual and I have high hopes that this series will turn out to be something a bit special. (Mat Coward MORNING STAR)

... Connor makes excellent use of his procedural knowledge to heighten the tension and crank up the pace, building to a breathless climax. (SHERLOCK MAGAZINE)

a first-rate thriller with a terrific climax. (Susanna Yager SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

Grisham did it in America, now a British criminal lawyer debuts with a suspense-packed thriller. (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH)

The kind of thriller that would make for a great TV series. (IRISH EXAMINER)
