#FridayReads 2 Running from the Dead - First novel I’ve read by @Mike_Knowles amazon.co.uk/dp/177041519X/ - & first entry for PI Sam Jones, this is the best PI novel I’ve read in a few years & in its own way is as good as Mosley’s Trouble is What I Do. Highly Recommended.

Blown away by the kind words from The Globe and Mail for Running From the Dead “It's a smart, serious, carefully crafted gem that belongs in the rarified company of writers such as Dennis Lehane and John Sandford.” There might never be a better sentence than that.
