Praise for this book

"Hames is such a talent that he has created a white-knuckle, breathlessly-paced read that also has heart. Beautifully written and thrilling, Dead North deserves to go to the top of any chart." - Louise Beech

"A pacy thriller, rich in voice and with gratifying degree of complexity. Hames knows how to deliver." - John Bowen

"In Dead North, Hames’ lawyer turned accidental sleuth, Sam Williams, finds himself far from home and neck deep in Manchester’s seamy gangster scene. But what stands out in this intelligent, intricately woven crime procedural - with a plot to make your brain hurt - is the undercurrent of slick and highly enjoyable humour reminiscent of Raymond Chandler, updated for the twenty-first century. Loved it." - S E Lynes

"Will leave me with a thriller hangover for some time." - John Marrs
