Reviews
Candleland is a sometimes brutal, sometimes poetic journey through the dark heart of modern London, and confirms Martyn Waites as one of the brightest stars in the British crime writing firmament. It is not for the faint of heart; but then, neither is life.
If Philip Marlowe had been born later, British and Geordie, these are the mean streets he would be cleaning up.
