Me too. Love all his stuff. He recently had a short called
"Memories"
published in "Crimetime" (details on request) and it made me
wonder
if he was the new Raymond Calver (que discussion on crime
writing as
literature)

Take it from me - if you will - it is absolutely F***ing
brilliant.
"Death Will Have your Eyes" is, according to my mate Paul and
me
"..the best ***** book in the whole ***** world" but a more
sober
judgement would be that it is at least as good as the others
and if ,
on my rec, you get it and don't like it I'll refund the cost of
the
book. Honest.
