"A wonderfully edgy piece of wartime noir" -- DJ. Taylor Independent "Macabre twists keep the pages turning" -- James Urquhart Financial Times "A masterly, highly evocative, multi-layered tale" Mail on Sunday (Eire) "Fabulously atmospheric" Bookseller "Edric's world, though often unsavoury, is also curiously compelling. Lured into its shady precincts, you're unlikely to want to leave." -- David Grylls Sunday Times
