The Watchman - Hardcover

'(the book) functions admirably as a thriller... (his books) provide so much pleasure to so many of us... including to me' (David Sexton Evening Standard)

This thriller takes off like a cat with its tail on fire, and it's still smoking by the time it hits the last page. (Alex Gordon Peterborough Evening Telegraph)

Yet more tough, cracking stuff from Crais, who returns to form by giving his best characters Elvis Cole and Joe Pike plenty of lethal action (Henry Sutton Daily Mirror)

It's a simple enough plot, but Crais packs it with terrific action and dialogue. He gets better and better. (Marcel Berlins The Times)

'The story moves along at top speed in typical Crais fashion, with lots of ultraviolence, gallows humour and great writing. A must from first page to last.' (Mark Timlin The Independent)

'Packed with plot twists and suspense, The Watchman serves up a finely balanced offering of action and intrigue which will keep you guessing right to the finish' (Canary Wharf City Life)

This is a novel of suspense, and it keeps racking up the tension until the very end. Crais is an old-timer at this kind of thing and THE WATCHMAN is him at his very best. (Vincent Banville Irish Times)
