Product Description
Review
Praise for ‘The Silent and the Damned’:
‘First rate…Wilson at his best, a taut, gripping narrative and a sensitive study of the tormented detective.’ Telegraph
‘Wilson’s plotting is intricate, his detective endearingly human, Seville a captivating venue. This is crime fiction of high order.’ The Times
‘Its plotting is persuasive, its characterisation shrewd.’ Times Literary Supplement
Praise for ‘The Blind Man of Seville’:
‘Crime writing at its very best, but it is also something more…it excites, it surprises and it satisfies. This is a fine important novel.’ Philip Oakes, Literary Review
‘Admirably paced and enthrallingly elaborate.’ Sunday Times
‘To call [this] a thriller is to do a grave injustice to an utterly stunning achievement…a psychological thriller of real profundity. Wonderful!’ Paul Preston, author of Franco
‘An ingenious and compelling thriller.’ Toby Clements, Daily Telegraph
‘Brilliant.’ Chris Petit, Guardian
Praise for A Small Death in Lisbon:
‘Excellent… gripping and grim. A vivid and steamy stumble on the wild side’
Val McDermid
‘A densely plotted thriller, prickling with excitement… fiercely imagined and not a little frightening’
Literary Review
The Times
‘Wilson, as always, delivers.’

Format:Paperback
This is the 3rd installment of the Javier Falcon novels, the previous 2 being cracking, at times demanding books. In this story Wilson explores a terrorist attack in Spain investigated by Inspector Flacon. As the previous reviewer has pointed out in this book Falcon has appeared to come to terms with his 'demons' and consequently the book is much lighter reading.
As always wilson develops the characters and the plot of the book in an excellent manner. my only criticism of the book was that, at times, theres just a little too much going on (including perhaps a few too many characters. I found myself at times having to think back to discover who this person was). I found this distracting and it ultimately spoilt what could have been a very good book (hence 3 instead of 4 *).
This is a good book but not as good as the previous 2 Falcon books, in my opinion. However, the ending of the book leaves you wanting to know more and I believe that Wilson plans a 4th and final Falcon novel. Wilson remains a great thriller writer

Format:Paperback
this is the second of robert wilsons books that I have read. I did feel afterwards that I should have re-read "the blind man" before attempting this just to get some better perspective on Javier Falcon. The story is strong and stands alone however there are parts where there is some waffle that could have been eliminated. definitely a keeper............
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very good read, some good twists and turns, and plenty of Spanish colour, all the elements you expect from Wilson.

Absorbing thriller
This is the first novel by Robert Wilson that I've read, but it certainly won't be the last. His writing is gripping, easy to read, and he tells a good, multi-layered story. Read more
