Only Here, Only Now (2024)
Tom Newlands
"Only Here, Only Now heralds the arrival of an urgent and unique new voice, as engaging and as startling as Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, Morvern Callar or The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, and will surely be hailed as one of the great British debut novels."
thumb
Three Burials (2024)
Anders Lustgarten
"Three Burials is a powerful rollercoaster of a debut, careering through the good, the bad and the ugly of our times, but with heart and with humour."

Red Menace (2024)
(United Kingdom Trilogy, book 2)
Joe Thomas
"One of our very best comtemporary crime writers."
