The Dying Squad by Adam Simcox
LINE OF DUTY meets RIVERS OF LONDON - a speculative crime debut in which a detective has to solve his own murder
Untameably original, so stylish and packed with a biting humour * Rob Parker, author of A Wanted Man *
THE DYING SQUAD is one of those books that fizzes with lifeEvery page has a new idea, or a funny line, and Daisy May is just a brilliant character to spend time with. Also, the ending arrives in a steel-tipped boot. Well played Adam * Stuart Turton, Sunday Times bestelling author and winner of the Costa First Novel Award for The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle *
Excellent. Funny, creepy and "oh no he did not just throw that twist in there" compelling' * Anna Stephens, author of The Godblind trilogy *
Grim, wry and inventive, a twisting tale with both guts and heart. Never has Lincolnshire seemed more desolate, or more menacing * David Wragg, The Black Hawks *
Whip-smart, fresh with a dash of dark humour, The Dying Squad is a wildly entertaining read. Highly recommended * Adam Hamdy *
A thrilling ride with dark humour, action and a touching side that's hard to forget * The Sun *
Adam has crafted something unique with The Dying Squad, mashing fantasy and crime together in a way I've not seen before ... I'm sure it will be a huge success. * James Oswald *
A fascinating debut ... At times evocative of Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim series, but without its hardboiled cynicism, this is an impressive and memorable debut. * Crime Time *
