Trade Review
'Ames is an adept purveyor of the very noir, particularly scenes of violence. He achieves more in less than 100 pages than most crime novels three times the length do' - The Times, Crime Books of the Year 2016

'A striking and powerful noir debut that can be consumed in a single sitting... Ames reveals himself here as a stylish thriller writer' - Daily Mail
