A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.

Over the past couple of years, Penguin have been renewing their local crime stable with enterprise and launched a whole series of promising new talent, many of whom should last the course: James Oswald's traditional country thrills, M. J. Arlidge's calculating psychothrillers and Tim Weaver's elaborate missing persons cases come to mind but the publication of Linskey's lengthy psychological thriller sees a hitherto reliable writer take a sharp swerve towards the big time. With a large cast of cops, journalists and standers by, Linskey has taken a routine cold case investigation crossed with a murdered girls spree and elevated it to a level of complexity and humanity seldom approached by Britsh writers previously, providing a useful lesson in world and character-building without detracting from a killer plot (in all senses of the word). A new name on our criminal horizon.

 


No Name Lane is indeed a country lane where folk like to walk, but at this particular time young girls are disappearing and the area is on alert.  We have a couple of journalists and a couple of unpopular police officers dominating our story.  We follow lots of threats, twists, flashbacks and confusion.  You really have to keep your wits about you; brilliant.  Then a skeleton is discovered in the school grounds while the search for the girls intensifies and suddenly we have different paths to be led down.  This is first class stuff, an unstoppable tale, a real page-turner not to be missed and seek out his The Drop and The Damage too.
