Overview

Two crimes, two tangles of emotions and thwarted love...From the author of LAST FLIGHT TO STALINGRAD

Editorial Reviews

Another first rate thriller from a writer who is firmly up there with the best—SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

There is no doubt that his series of police-procedural novels is one of the best since the genre was invented more than half a century ago—LITERARY REVIEW

This is how a crime novel should be written, and it pushes Hurley right to the forefront of British crime writers, which is where he richly deserves to be—INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

[Faraday] is cementing his reputation as one of Britain's most credible official sleuths, criss-crossing the mean streets of a city that is a brilliantly depicted microcosm of contemporary Britain...a sterling demonstration of the way crime writing can target society's woes—GUARDIAN

From the Publisher

Featuring Australian Detective Joe Faraday, ONE UNDER begins with the discovery of a body—evidence of a brutal murder. The book's pace then slows considerably as Hurley provides listeners with a somewhat dry introduction to police investigative procedures. Soon, though, the plot takes off, and the story flies. The result is an intense, gripping, albeit dark, novel, which is not for the faint of heart. Tim Pepper's narration matches the story’s intensity. At first, his Australian accent requires concentration, but eventually, like Hurley's prose, Pepper's style grows on the listener, and the initial accent problem seems to melt away.
