Million-copy-selling Chris Brookmyre takes his fiction further than ever before in this wildly inventive and sharply-plotted novel set in the unforgiving emptiness of space.

Trade Review
As smart as it is gripping, this is a terrifically engaging story from start to nerve-shredding finish - Big Issue

Excellent hardboiled noir . . . absolutely gripping - SciFiNow

An ingenious crime story - Scotsman

Places in the Darkness is another corker of a murder mystery, [Brookmyre's] new setting - with which he's clearly having a whale of a time - giving him the opportunity to wow us with an even twistier twist than usual - Guardian

A fascinating, fast-paced but thoughtful blend of science fiction and techno-thriller

Brilliant

Ingenious
