Blood's a Rover

Blood's a Rover takes us into the 70s. RFK and MLK are dead. A kid private eye clashes with a mob goon and an enforcer for FBI director Edgar Hoover in L.A. There's an armoured-car heist and a cache of missing emeralds. Revolution brews in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Amidst all this, all three anti-heros fall for Red revolutionary Joan Rosen Klein. Each will pay 'a dear and savage price to live History'.

Reviews

A tense, heart-wrenching thriller

—— T. M. Logan

[A] fast-paced page turner with great characterisation and a dark heart

—— Mark Edwards

Lost You is a really brilliant novel - thrilling, emotional and so readable

—— Mason Cross

Far too few thrillers have genuine suspense, twists that give you goosebumps and - most importantly - characters that you really care about. Lost You has it all

—— Mark Billingham

[A] compulsively readable, whip-smart thriller, with… [an] emotional core and spectacular twists

—— Sunday Mirror

A twisty, action-packed adventure that never draws breath and will strike an emotional chord in the heart of every mother

—— Geoffrey Wansell , Daily Mail

A fantastic thriller - a lone woman, a nightmare scenario, high stakes, breathless suspense, and a satisfying conclusion. It doesn't get better than this.

—— LEE CHILD on HERE AND GONE

A brilliant, relentless rollercoaster of suspense that shreds your emotions.

—— PETER JAMES on HERE AND GONE

Tension-laden...with a vice-like grip that won’t let go…Here and Gone is terrifyingly realistic from the start to its finale.

—— Washington Post

A captivating read and a very well-researched techno-thriller

—— Andrew Hill , Shots magazine

[Elsberg] takes us on a breathless pursuit of Freemee across the globe.

—— For Winter Nights

A thriller that explores how information can be controlled, repurposed and used to exploit people... Zero is thoroughly entertaining.

—— The Eloquent Page

[Elsberg] throws everything at you, and it kept me hooked throughout.

—— Zooloo Book Blog

Filled with smart characters, plenty of action... A wake-up call for all of the people who are glued to their gadgets.

—— Book Inspector

Elsberg's writing is intriguing, fierce and smart.

—— Always Trust in Books

A highly topical thriller depicting the online world of activists against IT companies illegally collecting and analysing personal data.

—— Der Spiegel, Germany

A topical nightmare scenario - but Elsberg says it became a reality long ago.

—— Hit Radio RT 1 Germany

Marc Elsberg has a sixth sense for burning issues. So sinister and realistic, it will make you download encryption software after reading.

—— Glamour

The technology already exists, but Elsberg takes their possible effects to a dramatic extremes and paints a future dystopia that leaves us truly shaken up.

—— ZEIT Wissen

This is the go-to thriller that ignites topical debate around Google and the right to personal privacy. A nightmare that as Elsberg sees it has long become a reality.

—— FOCUS

With his new thriller Elsberg is fast becoming the voice of public discourse in one of the most important fields of our time.

—— Handelsblatt

As with BLACKOUT, Elsberg combines a realistic near-future scenario with a cleverly constructed plot - a thriller that confronts our deepest fears.

—— ZDF

A gripping thriller and a visionary book on the subject of 'Big Data'

—— rbb Kulturradio

Engaging, vivid and cleverly constructed. One expects the reversal, but it comes in a double blow, the first of which is so cunningly done I found myself pausing, frowning and riffling back through the pages to confirm that I had, indeed, been thoroughly stitched up
