Harrison is a master of mood and atmosphere * New York Times * The class act of the urban thriller * Entertainment Weekly * Colin Harrison is an exciting and intelligent writer ... He never allows the reader's attention to flag * Irish Independent * The noir poet of New York crime fiction ... Harrison's storytelling hums and his prose shimmers * Publishers Weekly * Tom Wolfe-worthy ... Harrison is a cinematic writer * New York Times Book Review * Harrison is much more interested in the subtler shadings of goodness and weakness than he is in the gaudy displays of bang-pow-splat that typify so many other thrillers * Economist * Harrison brings to a John Grisham-like story a stylistic panache and a depth of characterisation Grisham never attempts, without forfeiting his page-turning grip on the reader * Sunday Times * Harrison's sense of atmosphere and character is so strong * Daily Telegraph *
