Jake Arnott's 'mesmerizing, brilliant' (New York Times Book Review) second novel, a literary thriller that delves into corruption on both sides of the law and at the heart of the state.

During the long hot summer of 1966, a senseless murder shocks the nation and brings the World Cup euphoria to an abrupt end. Yet it marks a beginning for three men, who are inextricably linked to the crime and its consequences: an ambitious detective struggling with his conscience; a tabloid journalist with a nose for a nasty story; and a disaffected thief, haunted by his violent past.

Spanning three decades of profound social change, this gripping novel explores corruption on both sides of the law and at the very heart of the state.

Industry Reviews

Brilliant ... you won't be able to put it down. - Mark Sanderson, Sunday Telegraph Summer Reading

Many thought that Jake Arnott's debut, 'The Long Firm', was good but not quite as good as the hype tried to convince us it was. Frankly, Hemingway, Hammett and Greene together would have been hard pressed to come up with anything that good. His eagerly awaited follow-up, 'He Kills Coppers', has arrived - and it's better. - Time Out

Compelling ... Arnott is a writer of many shades and, as in his debut, The Long Firm, shows his penchant for combining challenging storylines with strong storytelling. - Max Davidson, Sunday Telegraph

'Arnott is a craftsman at what he does, a real cabinetmaker of pulp fiction, with everything nicely dovetailed - Sunday Times

Intoxicating - Scotland on Sunday

Propels Arnott further into a league of his own - Independent on Sunday

Brilliant - Literary Review

Easily as good, if not better, than the superb Long Firm ... A stylish tour-de-force - Big Issue
