'Pacy and clever, The Simple Truth is a multi-layered mystery, brimming with action and intrigue, all woven perfectly together in the expertly crafted plot.' * Andrea Mara * 'A web of intrigue in the hands of a master storyteller ... A deceptively simple premise that deepens and darkens with every page. I may have forgotten to breathe at the end.' * Marion Todd * Praise for James Buckler * : * A fine debut - fast-paced and bleak, with a vivid setting and gut-wrenching twists * Mick Herron * A vivid and noirish tale of an Englishman abroad discovering that you can run from everything but yourself. James Buckler is one to watch. * Simon Beckett *
