Review:
One of the most entertaining thrillers I have read. * Sunday Telegraph * Lawton evokes wartime London with an infectiously jaunty panache. * Sunday Times, Donna Leon * The sense of London during the Blitz is strong and the story, with its mix of real history and believable invention, is fast-paced, twisting and tense. * Observer * Troy is a character of real depth and subtlety. His brooding presence at the heart of the novel, at once enigmatic and vulnerable, makes Riptide not only a satisfying read, but... [a thriller] with a strong moral heartbeat. * Independent *
