Trade ReviewInspired writing. Bad Traffic is a honey: suspense that never loses its grip. -- Elmore Leonard
Lewis's aim was to write a book that was 'fast-paced and pulpy with plenty of action'. He has certainly succeeded, but there's more besides - dark comedy, sensitive characterisation and an incisive rendering of the desperation felt by beleaguered strangers in a foreign land. -- Laura Wilson * Guardian *
An impressive novel set in a milieu hitherto unused in crime fiction. -- Marcel Berlins * Sunday Times *
