King of Swords (Max Mingus #2)
Nick Stone

So the biq question: has Nick Stone matched that jaw-dropping debut?
Initially, this seems a very different kind of book - the setting is the more familiar Miami rather than a surrealistically realised Haiti. But -- relax - this is just as strong and disturbing a book as Mr Clarinet. In fact, those seeking a comfortable read should steer well clear - but if you're looking for rough-edged crime fiction that will seriously unsettle you (and many of us seek exactly that), then King of Swords does the business -- look no further. And now -- how long do we have to wait for the third Nick Stone novel? --Barry Forshaw
