Daily MailSuperbly written, with atmosphere, intelligence and tension, it reminds you of the best of Graham Greene. There can be no higher praise
William BoydA tremendous, richly rewarding novel, written with great intelligence and narrative brio. Completely enthralling
Sunday TimesIf you’re not averse to a slow-burn literary thriller, this globe-trotting saga is a first-rate example: nothing is stereotypical
Literary ReviewA terrific novel
SpectatorAn intelligent, suspenseful take on classic thriller tropes that is nonetheless rooted in the mess of the here and now
Charles BeaumontA fast-paced political thriller, completely contemporary and very believable...an addictive page-turner with a relatable protagonist in a race against time to evade a shadowy force of murderous intent... a beautifully-written novel about memory and youth, and loss of innocence... highly recommended
Oldie, *Novel of the Month*Thriller lovers will not be disappointed… Frame 37 is the spellbinding story of a presidential candidate ruthlessly prepared to suppress truth
Lindsey Hilsum, International Editor Channel 4 News, and author I BROUGHT THE WAR WITH ME; STORIES AND POEMS FROM THE FRONT LINEFrame 37 is terrifyingly resonant at a time when allegations of high level corruption and sexual violence are shrugged off in Washington. With our hero in mounting danger, I was unable to put down this intelligently written thriller as I sped towards the denouement
Thomas KeneallyThis master of the meaningful thriller has again astounded me...reminiscent of the best of Graham Greene. If you want your thriller writer to be an accomplished novelist: Shakespeare's your man. If you want your thriller writer to let things rip: Shakespeare’s your man. He is an encompassing talent.
Allan Massie, ScotsmanFrame 37 finds John Dyer coming into conflict with an old university classmate now running for high office. The title agreeably suggests dark tricks. He is a novelist who blends public and private lives persuasively in a way that is reminiscent of a master of this sort of novel, Graham Greene
