Screen of Deceit Reviews

Deviously twisted plotting, genuine suspense, and an engaging, emotionally complex character...the result is a book - indeed a series - that's a gripping, hugely entertaining success Booklist on Critical Threat Oldham takes the taut pacing, gripping suspense, and hard-edged plotting that readers have come to expect from the best British procedurals and adds a fresh twist. A touch of James Ellroy thrown into a John Harvey-style procedural makes a powerful combination Booklist on Psycho Alley Oldham, a real-life copper, offers a story full of dark menace, gritty realism, and graphic violence. Add head-spinning action and surprising plot twists, and the result is a gripping, gut-wrenching thriller Booklist on Big City Jacks
