Praise for this book
"Sci-fi at it's best! A real page-turner, with some excellent characters that you can care about, and a few you can hate, too! I loved it for the fact that the storyline is scarily believable, but is also a lesson in never giving up hope." - Joy Ellis
"Where I would normally have an idea or expectation as to where a crime/thriller/procedural is going next, in this case I had no idea. The setting is outstanding. Everything's a hovel, everything's filthy and dangerous. The characters are superb, the concept utterly believable (all the more terrifying) and thoroughly well-researched. It's outstanding." - Charlie Gallagher
"A striking glimpse at a dystopian future, The Body Collector is beautifully written, powerful, haunting, and evocative. Brearton effortlessly draws you in. Every page is riveting, absorbing, and savagely incisive... as captivating and intriguing as it is dark and disturbing (with) twists and turns that will keep you enthralled till the very last page. In a word, The Body Collector is breathtaking." - Lisa Regan
