Review
'Johnston does an expert job in this extraordinary mixture of police procedural, head-banging vigilante lit, Agatha Christie…and Dennis Wheatley…Great stuff.' --The Guardian
'Captivating sequel to The Death List' --Daily Mirror
'The Soul Collector is clever in all the right ways: it s plotting is a little out of the box with it s mixture of all things serial killers; a touch of Golden Age puzzle solving (Colin Dexter would approve); a large dose of machismo bravado, and the emotional exploration of fledgling love. And as quickly as these elements are laid out, you know you are in the hands of a writer whose inventiveness continues to excite his readers. ' --Mike Stotter
