Untameably original, so stylish and packed with a biting humour * Rob Parker, author of A Wanted Man * THE DYING SQUAD is one of those books that fizzes with life. Every page has a new idea, or a funny line, and Daisy May is just a brilliant character to spend time with. Also, the ending arrives in a steel-tipped boot. Well played Adam * Stuart Turton, Sunday Times bestelling author and winner of the Costa First Novel Award for The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle * Excellent. Funny, creepy and oh no he did not just throw that twist in there compelling' * Anna Stephens, author of The Godblind trilogy * Excellent.

At times evocative of Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim series, but without its hardboiled cynicism, this is an impressive and memorable debut. * Crime Time *
