If you haven't read any of my books yet (and that's OK!), I suppose I'd say they're most like the work of fellow Brits Peter Robinson, Reginald Hill, John Harvey and Ian Rankin - except my detectives are a lot younger, without quite so many serious alcohol problems and failed marriages!

Reviewing the 5th Cooper & Fry novel ONE LAST BREATH, Entertainment Weekly says: "Every bit as darkly intelligent and finely twisted as Elizabeth George's work. I hated to reach the last page."

And Publishers Weekly said: "Intelligent, suspenseful.... A master of psychological suspense, Booth hauntingly evokes the ambiguities of place and the enduring complexity of human relationships."

The books in the series so far are:

BLACK DOG

DANCING WITH THE VIRGINS

BLOOD ON THE TONGUE

BLIND TO THE BONES

ONE LAST BREATH

THE DEAD PLACE

SCARED TO LIVE

DYING TO SIN

THE KILL CALL

LOST RIVER

THE DEVIL'S EDGE

DEAD AND BURIED

And a new one, published in June 2013:

ALREADY DEAD

You can order a copy of ALREADY DEAD in all the usual places.
