“[Tony Parsons] has decided to try his hand at crime fiction, and made an impressive job of it. The dry Parsons wit is certainly there in Detective Constable Max Wolfe ... Told with conviction, and at an ever accelerating pace, it is the first of a trilogy over the next three years.” —The Daily Mail (UK)

“Combines Parsons' trademark feel for character with a knack for visceral details...Truly emotive crime writing is a rarity and THE MURDER MAN looks set to win Parsons many new fans in the genre.” —GQ (UK)

“Spectacular-tense but human, fast but authentic-maybe this is what Tony Parsons should have been doing all along.” —Lee Child

“Sometimes, rarely, you know from the first chapter or so of a novel that you're in the hands of a master story teller. In the case of Tony Parsons' brilliant new thriller, The Murder Man, we know this within the first few pages. A relentless plot, evocative prose and compelling (and wrenching) portraits of the characters, good and evil, conspire to make this a must-read. And I have two words for hero Max Wolfe: More. Soon.” —Jeffery Deaver
