The praise for David Peace’ first novel is completely justified. It is brilliantly written and takes you in immediately. From the first page on you're alongside Edward Dunford, North of England Crime Correspondent for the Evening Post, on his journey through a dark sea of corruption and murder. It's hard to put aside once you've started with reading. Simply a must read! For someone who's not used to read in English, it might be a bit difficult for starters. For anyone else I completely recommend to read it in English rather than in German, because I've peeked into the German edition, and the tone comes not even close to the original!
