Review:
`Snow Hill is a dashing and compelling addition to the distinguished file of the London crime and punishment novel' Melvyn Bragg'Powerfully atmospheric. A compelling journey into the dark heart of the Square Mile' Jake Arnott'Both emotionally believable and intriguing...undeniable page-turning appeal' Financial Times`A terrific plot' Guardian`Thoroughly entertaining' Daily Mirror`A pungent evocation of time and place ... London of the 1930s is conjured with immense skill' Independent'The period atmosphere is vividly and convincingly portrayed ... a very good read' Literary Review`Sanderson relishes the louche and smoky milieu where police and press rub shoulders with sexual adventurers and criminals, and he describes it with considerable verve.' Spectator`A stunningly clever debut ... In a brilliant plot, incredibly paced and acutely narrated, Sanderson hints wryly that there's never been such a thing as a "straight" policeman' Ben Summerskill, Chief Executive of Stonewall
