Critics Review
‘succeeds in painting a portrait of the world at once attractive and repellent’
Imagine John le Carre on bad acid - edgy, twisted and very, very dark. - Howard Marks

Excellent. - Selectsucceeds in painting a portrait of the world at once attractive and repellent - ListDipping the ever-successful elements of guns and narcotics into an atmosphere of constant psychosis, DAMAGED is surprisingly believable. - FaceA very fine thriller…A hardboiled page-turner for the slacker generation. - MixMagAbout The Author
