«John Harvey is one of my favourite writers. Whenever he has a new book out it goes to the top of my reading list. And I haven't been disappointed yet.»

Peter Robinson

«Ash & Bone, like everything I've read of Harvey's, is distinguished by seriousness, sophistication and stylistic elegance.»

Washington Post

«John Harvey continues to delight all readers who relish his hard-boiled gritty style and recognise the authenticity of his English inner city settings.»

Daily Mail

«Immaculately engineered thriller...Harvey's book is fast, fluent and exciting, with a pace and assurance that never lets up.»

Literary Review

«Ash and Bone starts where Flesh and Blood left off, in every sense. Harvey once again gets everything right, jangling the nerves and plucking the heart-strings as he leads us sure-footedly through a complex plot whose disparate elements he holds in perfect balance. Another marvellous read.»
