Smoke

'The best crime book I've read this year. Kept me guessing right to the end. The setting is brilliant, the characters compelling, the writing elegant, the plot bewitching, the tension palpable. A winner.'

Chris Hammer

'A great book and an engrossing read that I just could not put down. Michael Brissenden has delivered an intense, diabolically smart and unforgettable novel.' - Dervla McTiernan

'Smoke by Michael Brissenden is a powerful, haunting and exceptionally well written novel that kept me reading late into the night trying to figure it out and stayed with me long after I finished it'.
Don Winslow

'Atmospheric, fast-paced, and almost unbearably tense - I was deeply immersed in Alex Markov's dangerous, unpredictable world. Brissenden has created characters you'll care about and a page-turner that'll keep you guessing. This is a cracking crime novel and his best book yet.'
Mark Brandi

'A blistering tale of murder, betrayal, and corruption in small town America. The writing is so good I could feel the heat of the California wildfires. Smoke could just be the best crime thriller you'll read this year.'
