The Hollow Man by Oliver Harris
A brilliant crime series for fans of Mick Herron's Slough House novels.
A twisting spiral of lies and corruption, a pitch-perfect portrait of contemporary London and a beguiling bastard of a hero * Val McDermid *
[Belsey has] got to be London's coolest cop.. Harris has plundered London's underworld for his richly plotted and unusual detective series... It's heady stuff * Daily Mail *
Thrills, spills and fine writing * Daily Telegraph *
The book we have been waiting for without knowing we were * Evening Standard *
The story works as a thriller but it's also a very entertaining read, all the more because the locations are so precisely described. It gives new meaning to the expression 'Hampstead novel * The Literary Review *
With a seasoned author's skill and a cabbie's encyclopedic knowledge of London's every nook and cranny, debut novelist Oliver Harris tells a pacey tale firmly rooted in the credit-crunched modern world. A blistering start to a promising new crime series * Short List *
[A] plot that twists and turns like the back streets of Kentish Town: this is a cracker of a debut by local boy Oliver Harris * Camden New Journal *
This is an astonishingly good first novel. Its plot is original, its dialogue lively, and in DC Belsey- the man who can't make up his mind whether he's a corrupt slacker or a dedicated detective and seems cursed to be both at once- it has a protagonist who truly stands out from the crowd * Morning Star *
