Critics Review

Brookmyre is back to what he does better than anyone else: bloodgushing action married to razor-sharp, foul-mouthed satire that shows he doesn’t so much have his finger on the pulse of popular culture as an open razor to its carotid artery’ Daily Express ‘A bracing read from a writer who rugby-tackles contemporary issues with vim and black wit - The London Paper ‘A cult classic in waiting’

Aberdeen Press & Journal ‘A thriller that entertains to the final page - Financial Times ‘Prepare for a few hours of remote-control-free, evil brilliance’ Daily Record ‘Brilliant and hilarious’
