Evocative, engrossing and entertaining The Times on Shadow of the Rock Shadow of the Rock, the first book by Thomas Mogford, is partly set on Gibraltar. It's exciting and assured - with a hero wonderfully called Spike Sanguinetti ... Popular fiction at its best -- Susan Hill Spectator, Books of the Year I loved Shadow of the Rock. Mogford's sharp prose drew me in from the first page and his intriguingly flawed hero Spike stands out in the memory -- Sadie Jones Very original, and brilliantly rendered ... a rare and enviable talent -- William Boyd Classic detective story ... Mogford is a fluent writer and the book gains from its unusual setting Sunday Times
