'Absolutely brilliant. A brooding, intensely dark thriller with a defiant beating heart.' -- Miranda Dickinson 'Breakers is the most powerful and moving book from Johnstone yet - a calling card that no-one can ignore' * The Scotsman * 'Doug Johnstone's books are what the phrase no filler, all thriller was invented for. A tough, gritty and effective ride into the dark side of Edinburgh' -- Douglas Skelton 'This is premier league crime writing' -- Martyn Waites 'Doug Johnstone is for me the perfect free-range writer, respectful of conventions but never bound by them, never hemmed-in.' -- James Sallis 'It's as psychologically rich as it is harrowing. I've come to expect nothing less from Doug Johnstone' -- Megan Abbott 'This may be Doug Johnstone's best book yet. An unsparing yet sympathetic depiction of Edinburgh's ignored underclass, with terrific characterisation. Tense, pacey, filmic' -- Ian Rankin It's a lovely, sad tale, beautifully told and full of understanding' * The Times *
