Product Description

Lowestoft Journal
'Faultless characterization, sharp observation and slick humour make it my choice for crime book of the year.'

Guardian
'Kernick generates a potent cocktail of thrills that makes contemporary London feel like Dodge City. A knucklehead ride.’ --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring back Iversson, 2 Jul 2007
By Dean Hepburn - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Another winner. I have only just discovered author Simon Kernick's work after picking up RELENTLESS the other month in paperback, and after demolishing that in record time, I just came on Amazon and ordered 3 copies of his other books. This book will not disapoint, told in a unique and brave dual first person narrative, you get to be in the head of ex-soldier and Met. Copper - I really liked the Iversson character, as he sort of reminded me of Andy McNabs "Nick". It is great to discover a new writer and have his back catalog to go at. Just as you are getting sick of American crime novels along comes a homegrown talent that really knows how to spin a gritty British crime caper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting Better All The Time., 30 Jul 2004
I really enjoyed "The Business Of Dying", Simons first book. The question was, could he maintain or even improve those high standards? Well the "Murder Exchange" answers that with a resounding yes! So much so today I buy his third book & look forward to number four. Mr. Kernick is in the same league as Jake Arnott, & Mark Billingham: & by anyones standards that is well impressive company.
A truly atmospheric,clever, edge of the seat thriller; wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read, 26 Nov 2003
By Dominic De Ban - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Murder Exchange (Hardcover)
Kernick has delivered again. A gripping read and well developed characters. Although not for the faint-hearted, Kernick's wry humour shines through this gritty portrayal of underworld intrigue and murder. Thoroughly recommended.
