Reviews / Votes
DI Geraldine Steel is one of the most authoritative female coppers in a crowded field * Financial Times * The latest police procedural from prolific novelist Leigh Russell is as good and gripping as anything she has published * Times & Sunday Times Crime Club (Star Pick) * Another solid procedural that has tension and real threat. Geraldine has become a firm favourite and Russell is still well in the groove * NB Magazine * Taut writing, tense storyline and characters that jump off the page -- Angela Marsons Leigh Russell is my alternative Martina Cole, writing with the same realism, grit and edge. Deep Cover is three stories woven into one and it pulls you in like a rip tide. Always believable, always compelling, Leigh has done it again -- Helen FieldsMore details
