Blood Rights by Mike Phillips
A gripping new thriller from the master of crime
‘In this top-notch first novel… The plot is hard-boiled, the mystery unfolding gradually rather than presenting itself full blown for solutionPhillips's dialogue and his protagonist's voice-over ruminations on everything from racial disharmony to foolishness on TV are spot-on, adding to the pleasure a fresh, transatlantic sensibility and inflection.’ Publishers Weekly
Praise for Mike Phillips

‘Mr Phillips delivers quality’ The Times
‘Engaging pacy thriller… Phillips’ prose in concise, witty and fluid’ TLS
‘Phillips… gives a mean streetwise documentary edge to his hero’s hunt for a witness’ Sunday Express
‘There’s much here to suggest that Phillips could be one of our bravest, most incisive social commentators’ Mail on Sunday
