[Kernick is] a writer to be reckoned with. ---Mark Billingham, bestselling author of Sleepyhead Praise for The Business of Dying Gallows humor and a sardonic voice mark Kernick's remarkable debut. Pathos, pace, twists, and a savage sense of place make this a guilty pleasure. --- Guardian [U.K.] Gripping and thought provoking, Kernick weaves his web with the assurance of a seasoned professional. --- Time Out [U.K.] The crime debut of the year so far...Kernick tells it straight with no embellishments, which is exactly how I like my crime fiction. A prizewinner if ever I saw one. --- Independent on Sunday [U.K.] An exquisitely tortuous piece of characterization that should challenge both author and readers in the books to come. --- The Times [U.K.] An uncommonly assured first novel, quite brilliantly plotted...done with the kind of dash which inspires total reader confidence and involvement...formidable stuff. There is a pro at work here. --- Literary Review [U.K.] Taut, gripping, disturbing---a most assured and original debut. ---Reginald Hill
