Hardboiled as f*** with writing as fierce and sharp as a paper-cut Savage future noir that crackles with deadpan wit Debut novels as sleek, resonant and accomplished as this are a rare gift Dark and often funny, with sparse, sharp language ... This is good, bitter fun Elegant, lean and clever noir Great slice of modern noir - Ian Rankin
