MEDIA REVIEWS
Peter James has penetrated the inner workings of police procedures,and the inner thoughts and attitudes of real detectives,as no English crime writer before him. His hero,Roy Grace,may not be the most lively cop,nor the most damaged by drink,weight or misery,but he's one of the most believablePeter James is one of the best crime writers in the businessJames just gets better and better and deserves the success he has achieved with this first-class seriesMeticulous research gives his prose great authenticity...James manages to add enough surprises and drama that by the end you're rooting for the police and really don't know if they will finally get their menNo one can deny James's success as a crime novelist...The Grace stories almost always go to the top of the bestseller lists,not least because they are supremely well-told. James writes meticulously researched police procedurals,so informed that you can smell the canteen coffee...enthrallingIn my thirty four years of policing,never have I come across a writer who so accurately depicts "The Job"A full-throated exposéThe action is fast and furious,but,as in all novels in this series,it's held together by the unflappable character of Superintendent Grace...Not to be missed
