Editorial Reviews

Action, intrigue and a stonkingly modern heroine. It's a blast!

Sunday Times Crime Club - Crime Club

Fiona Erskine is an engineer, and in Jaq Silver, who shares her profession, she has created a wonderful antidote to all the resentful, floppy victims of much domestic noir... Her adventures are eye-popping and exciting.

Literary Review - Natasha Cooper

An audacious, female-led thriller which took the disposable women of the James Bond franchise and flipped the concept entirely on its head.
