Revue de presse :
[A] highly impressive thriller; a powerfully organized plot is matched by a steely narrative control that pays out just enough information to keep us on tenterhooks. The unfolding of the murder and cover-up is deftly handled, and there's a nice sideline in pithy historical detail: from the psychedelic 1960s to the uncaring Thatcherite '80s, the panorama is always authentic - and always at the service of the narrative. (Good Book Guide)
Many thought that Jake Arnott's debut, 'The Long Firm', was good but not quite as good as the hype tried to convince us it was. Frankly, Hemingway, Hammett and Greene together would have been hard pressed to come up with anything that good. His eagerly awaited follow-up, 'He Kills Coppers', has arrived - and it's better ... this is a fine piece of work that can only increase Arnott's reputation further. (Time Out)
Easily as good, if not better, than the superb Long Firm ... A stylish tour-de-force, Arnott's taut, lucid prose moving the reader effortlessly from the 1966 World cup to the 1980s...Smashing. (Big Issue)
Arnott is a craftsman at what he does, a real cabinetmaker of pulp fiction, with everything nicely dovetailed (Sunday Times)
Propels Arnott further into a league of his own (Independent on Sunday)
Intoxicating ... brings together the crisis over contemporary working class masculinity and sexuality viewed through the lens of corrupted police culture, the politics of Class War and London's criminal underworld (Scotland on Sunday)
Skilful blending of fact and fiction...brilliant and plausible (Literary Review)

August 1966, the long hot summer of World Cup euphoria is suddenly shattered by a brutal crime that shocks a nation seemingly at ease with itself. Three characters' fates are irrevocably bound up with this event and consequences that reverberate across three decades. An ambitious detective dragged into intrigues of corruption. A gutter press journalist with a nose for a nasty story. And a disaffected petty criminal pushed over the edge by a violent crime that haunts him. An epic story that looks at morality and corruption on both sides of the law and at the very heart of the state.
