Praise for Richard James:
'A genuinely impressive debut.' Andrew Cartmel, The Vinyl Detective
'Richard James has chosen a period he clearly has great affection for as a setting. He revels in the details and in sharing what his characters see and feel around them. It's a time long-gone now, but in the hands of the author, as vibrant and full of life as it must surely once have been.' Desmond Bagley
