Rat Race by Callum McSorley Raw, brutal, and monstrously funny .... Ally McCoist is as dodgy, and reprehensible as ever, and all the more entertaining for it ... Callum has knocked it out of the park again ... The bastard ...
This book is just stupendously enjoyable. I was genuinely heartbroken when it was over. Probably this talented monster’s best work yet. #TheDarkHeart

Nothing to see here Just @barristersecret.bsky.social saying how good my next book is
The Secret Barrister@barristersecret.bsky.social · 6mo agoI am lucky enough to have just finished an advance copy of this beauty. It is (I say quietly so as not to unduly polish his ego) Neil’s best thriller yet. Ridiculously compelling. Devastatingly plotted. Timely, witty - basically everything you could want. The multi-talented bastard.
Coming in June The next in the Josie Chapman series, this time it's pure thriller, and embryonic spy stories... All set in the seating heat of Southern California Preorder here .. amzn.eu/d/1CMtq9H
