Review
"He's [Belsey] got to be London's coolest cop... Harris has plundered London's underworld for his richly plotted and unusual detective series... It's heady stuff"--Daily Mail
"The story works as a thriller but it's also a very entertaining read, all the more because the locations are so precisely described. It gives new meaning to the expression 'Hampstead novel'."--Jessica Mann, The Literary Review
"The Hollow Man is another great debut novel you can't afford to miss!"--CrimeSquad
"With a seasoned author's skill and a cabbie's encyclopedic knowledge of London's every nook and cranny, debut novelist Oliver Harris tells a pacey tale firmly rooted in the credit-crunched modern world. A blistering start to a promising new crime series."--Short List
"This is an astonishingly good first novel. Its plot is original, its dialogue lively, and in DC Belsey- the man who can't make up his mind whether he's a corrupt slacker or a dedicated detective and seems cursed to be both at once- it has a protagonist who truly stands out from the crowd."--Morning Star
"...a plot that twists and turns like the back streets of Kentish Town: this is a cracker of a debut by local boy Oliver Harris."--Camden New Journal
