Nicholas Royle recommends
The Cardamom Club (2003) Jon Stock "Shades of Greene - in this tense spy thriller with a difference, Jon Stock's Kerala is vividly rendered. Recommended." | Weirdmonger (2003) D F Lewis "Keep Weirdmonger by your bed, and when you wake up, you wont be sure if whats running through your head are the remains of your dreams or fragmented memories of the story you read before drifting off to sleep." | High John the Conqueror (2006) Jim Younger "Younger writes with great vigour and playfulness." | |
The Harlequin (2015) Nina Allan "An outstanding, resonant piece of work." |
