Reviews for A House of Knives (Breen and Tozer)
Insightful . . . a novel about the estrangement of fathers and sons, but Shaw has gone beyond that, creating an elegy for an entire alienated generation

Excellent period yarn that tackles bent police, the dark side of hippiedom and utterly nails the myth of the Swinging Sixties
Sun
A distinctive British crime drama, which benefits from a clear moral sense
