"So many of the elements that have become integral . . . in the police procedural started life in these ten novels. . . . Their plots are second to none."—Val McDermid “Magically successful, a series of crime novels you shouldn’t miss.”—Minneapolis Tribune“It’s hard to think of any other thriller writers (apart from Simenon perhaps) who can capture so much of a society in a couple of hundred pages and yet still hold true to the thriller form.”—Sean and Nicci French“One of the most authentic, gripping and profound collection of police procedurals ever accomplished.”—Michael Connelly
