"This is absolutely a novel that will have you turning pages without fail until you reach the end! If you're a fan of noir or are looking for a different kind of crime read, Blue Night is absolutely a novel you should pick up. Its relative length (under 200 pages) makes it readable in one sitting, which is something you will likely want to do as soon as you begin!" --Crime Review "By turns lyrical and pithy, this adventure set in the melting pot of contemporary Hamburg has a plot and a sensibility that both owe something to mind-altering substances. Disgraced state prosecutor Chastity Riley chases round the dive bars of the port city pursuing and being pursued by a beguiling cast of cops, criminals and chums, delivering scalding one-liners as she goes. Lots of fun." --Times Crime Club
