I have just closed the paperback edition, coming out soon, and simply wish there would be a follow-up available to read immediately ! Craig Russell is so good with this 'Jan Fabel' serie that it is simply addictive reading. Each one seems even better than the last but really, all four books are excellent. I am just very puzzled that C. Russell is not better known from a wider readership and does not seem to reach the bestselling charts, I wonder if his publisher is doing sufficient marketing.
This latest chapter takes Herr Kommissar Fabel to Cologne, or Koln, and again Russell is very good at drawing the reader into the palpable atmosphere of this city as he did with Hamburg. The characters are very credible, alive with quirks and torments, and the policemen/women no less than the criminals ! The suspense is fabulous, and keeps you going, hooked until the very end.
I just hope that we won't have to wait too long till the next episode in the life of Jan Fabel !
