O knihe

"A deftly drawn masterpiece-well written, with a contemporary twist."
--"City Life"
"As it happens I knew these streets for nearly twenty years, and this tough, fabulous, smart-mouth novel captures them perfectly. The Sopranos meets The Jackal in a part of England Agatha Christie knew absolutely nothing about. This is hard, funny, and scary--try it."
--Lee Child, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Without Fail" and "Running Blind"
"This is a very funny book... I loved it."
"--The Independent on Sunday"
"Grotesque, original and murderously funny, it conforms to no existing crime template. We are sailing uncharted waters and there are sharks all around...Bowker tells his bloody tale with wit, invention and a raw energy that boils off the page. It is the kind of go that traditionally invigorates the pulps, but Bowker distills it here into a rare vintage that does wonders for his chosen genre."
--"Literary Review," December 2002
"I have a confession to make; I wanted to kill Billy Dye too. It's not that I didn't like him--far from it--it's just that, like Malcolm Priest, I thought Dye was just a little bit too cocky. Funny, yes, but cocky enough to survive even a hail of bullets- so, of course, I was itching to see if he would...A novel that is wickedly funny. In fact, I'm putting ["The Death You Deserve"] aside for a few weeks and then plan to read it again before passing it around to some of my most deserving friends."
--"Punch "
