Critic reviews
"In this hard-bitten political thriller, the author skillfully portrays Carlyle as a good cop who genuinely
struggles with the problems of his job and his lifestyle.
Mr. Craig, a former journalist, writes with brutal candor about crimes as vicious as crimes can get....
It says something about the author's capacity for the darkest of humor when his description of a corpse
superglued to a car can evoke a chuckle from the reader as police try to detach the body." ( Washington Times)
"As the title of James Craig's London Calling suggests, The Clash should be the soundtrack for this close
to pitch-perfect debut introducing Inspector John Carlyle." ( Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel)
"Craig lards his familiar tale of revenge served cold with enough expository detail for a primer on
politics and enough personal background about his hero to insure that his debut mystery won't be his last." ( Kirkus Reviews)
