Industry Reviews
'Written with panache, and a fine ear for dialogue, Leather manages the collision between the real and the occult with exceptional skill, adding a superb time-shift twist at the end'. -- Daily Mail 'This extraordinary thriller, like the others in this series, is very reminiscent of the novels of Dennis Wheatley ... [the] completely unpredictable ending of this outstanding story was so incredibly imaginative, that I cannot wait to see how the next book in this series, by this very versatile and prolific author will be tackled.' -- www.eurocrime.co.uk 'A disturbing, blood-chilling read from a writer at the top of his game' **** -- Sunday Express on MIDNIGHT 'Another great thriller from Stephen Leather but this time with a devilish twist!' -- James Herbert on NIGHTFALL 'A wicked read' -- Anthony Horowitz on NIGHTFALL 'Suffused with mysterious pentagrams, not to mention a creeping sense of evil, I suspect that down-to-earth Nightingale is a man we'll hear more of' -- Daily Mail on NIGHTFALL 'Dark and exhilarating, you'd better keep the lights on when you're reading it' -- Candis on NIGHTFALL 'The third book in a very interesting and engaging series. Stephen Leather has written many thrillers, all with that sense of engagement you get from writers who know what they are doing. A couple of them have been adapted for BBC-TV productions and this supernatural series reads like it could easily be on our screens in the near future. Read it now and beat the rush. Demonically good.' -- The Courier Mail 'If you love thrillers then this comes from one of the best, so good is the writing I felt quite intimidated about writing anything here, but I can without any reservation recommend not only NIGHTMARE but everything Stephen Leather has written - yes, he is that good.' -- Gothic Reign
