Top-class crime fiction... An unerring sense of pace, good tension, more than averagely believable characters and some neat twists * The Times * It's a chilling story that delves into the sordid underbelly of the city's illegal club nightlife. Edwardson leaves generous space for his detectives' personal lives, with one real shocker -- Daneet Steffens * Time Out * Ake Edwardson writes great endings... Never End [is] a novel with the most exhilarating final 50 pages in recent crime fiction * The Toronto Star * This series is a tough, smart, police procedural... and has the same gritty edge and great characters as the best of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct books * The Globe and Mail *More details
