Reviews

Ellis's speciality is a gritty rendering of Merseyside crime. Here we have the most exuberant outing yet for his wisecracking protagonist, the radio DJ Johnny Ace, whose knowledge of rhythm'n'blues is matched only by his sleuthing skills on Liverpool's mean streets - THE TIMES

As usual it fairly zips along and, building up a good head of steam, gets to the business in a satisfying way - CRIME TIME

Fizzes with Liverpool atmosphere and wit and is packed full of compelling characters - BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH
