Product Description
Review
'With old-fashioned villains, and a sharp line in dialogue, Clayton is getting better and better. This is a neat British gangster thriller written with elan and substance' --Daily Mail
'With strong characters, a fast pace and lots of twists and turns, this is a satisfying read, right to the shocking end' --Peterborough Evening Times
'[Bale] has neatly captured the claustrophobic feel of a small town. He opens with a bang in Blood Falls, and doesn't let up until the end, which comes at a gallop, with the revelation that ... well, I shouldn't say. Recommended' --Shots
'An excellent read ... with a surprising twist that is hard to see coming' --Mean Streets
'A fine page turner of a thriller and features again another Bale characteristic of note: no one draws thugs like this author for his villains are truly dirty, misguided and the sort of people you hope never to meet. More please' --It's a Crime! (Or a Mystery ...) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Format:Paperback
If you love a gritty UK based drama then this book is an absolute must read as Ex-Copper Joe Clayton has a close call and goes on the run for his life. It's cleverly constructed, beautifully thought out and with a main character that the reader can't help but associate with, it's a book that really was hard to put down.
Add to this a wonderfully woven story, with a tapestry of deceit, shame as well as crime within a small community, it takes a special kind of "sheriff" to come into town to get to the root of the problem whilst worrying about his own survival from the gang that refuse to let him go. Finally add to this great pace and some clever twists which overall made this title a real joy before bed. Just expect a late night or two.

Joe Clayton the hero of the book, is thrown into a maelstrom of bad guys and bad weather. On the run from a gang set on retribution. Joe finds himself in what appears to be a utopian town, but all is not as it seems, and out of the frying pan and into the fire Joe heads. The prose and descriptions of the town can be long winded, almost to the point of boring at times.
But Tom Bale has this uncanny knack of keeping you dangling, to the point that you forget, and continue to be enthralled, and await the next twist in the story with anticipation..
I felt that some of the characters were a little two dimensional, and needed more padding to be utterly convincing, but this is still a cracking read..although the end when it comes, does so abruptly..hopefully leaving room for a further instalment for Joe Clayton.
This author improves with every book that he writes, and I have read them all. well worth a look.

Joe Clayton former undercover cop on the run from some bad guys meets more bad guys.
It's not the first I've read based on the successful Jack Reacher formula but it's by far the best. It was exciting, pacey and well written. I can't wait to try another by this author.
