Synopsis

Book by Harvey John

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'John Harvey returns in resounding form' The Times

'Just when you thought Harvey couldn't get any better, up he pops with yet another brilliantly constructed, coolly written, chillingly sharp and utterly contemporary procedural.' Daily Mirror

'John Harvey is not just a fine crime novelist but a fine writer, and an adornment to his chosen genre. I devoured Good Bait in a day, and defy any reader to do otherwise. Great stuff.' John Connolly

'As ever, John Harvey's writing is cool, light, and beautiful. His combination of darkest emotion, present-day concerns, and simple human wanting, where everything isn't tied up neatly at the end, and pain goes on beyond the end of the novel - because it always does - is flawless.' Stella Duffy

'If you love a good crime title written by an author in the know about police procedures as well as a writer who can twist the readers emotions to his own will then you really have to read Harvey.' falcatatimes.blogspot.com

'It's a very early entry for the best crime novel of 2012.' crimetime.co.uk

'John Harvey's police novels have always been built on the characters of his cops, and there is no one better at revealing those characters through the day-to-day concerns that real people have.' irresistibletargets.blogspot.com

'Harvey really does have his finger on the pulse of what is happening in the criminal underworld and some of the more deprived areas of London. There's a real sense, not just of what's happening, but of why it's happening and where there are gaps in the net. I thoroughly enjoyed it.' thebookbag.co.uk

'What makes this book and John Harvey stand out is the writing and the characters... If you love crime you've got to read John Harvey.' bitethebook.com

Quatrième de couverture :

'A must-read for anyone craving a beautifully written and literate page-turner.' Daily Mail

When a seventeen-year-old Moldovan boy is found dead on Hampstead Heath, the case falls to DCI Karen Shields and her overstretched Homicide & Serious Crime team. Karen knows she needs a result. What she doesn't know is that her new case is tied inextricably to a much larger web of gang warfare and organised crime which infiltrates almost every aspect of London society, from the back streets and high rises of Tottenham to the multimillion-pound hideaways of the new international entrepreneurs.

Several hundred miles away in Cornwall, DI Trevor Cordon is stirred from his day-to-day duties by another tragic London fatality. Travelling to the capital, determined to establish the cause of death and trace the deceased's daughter - an old acquaintance from Penzance - Cordon becomes entangled in a lethally complex situation of his own. A situation much closer to Karen's case than either of them can imagine...

Brilliantly plotted and filled with rich, subtle characters, John Harvey's latest novel reveals him once again as a masterful writer with his finger firmly on the pulse of twenty-first-century crime.

'Brilliant and unnerving.' Independent

'Thrilling and atmospheric.' Guardian

'Harvey is as good as they come.' Mark Billingham

'Harvey is one of our most accomplished writers in any genre.' Sunday Telegraph
