Cleverly positions political and environmental issues alongside the need for change . . . completely fluid

—— Express and Star

Rich in insight, powerfully written, Out of Time by David Klass pits two brilliant foes against one another in a riveting chess game of suspense. One is an eco-extremist who bombs and kills, while the other is a young, unorthodox FBI man who goes rogue in a desperate attempt to stop him. From the first paragraph, you'll know you're in the hands of a master storyteller and embarking on an unforgettable adventure

—— Gayle Lynds , New York Times bestselling author of The Assassins

Cleverly positions political and environmental issues alongside the need for change [...] an unpredictable ending

—— Associated Press

Exciting... The topic is timely, the pacing is pedal-to-the-metal

—— Publisher's Weekly

Pure genius - all the things you want to a crime novel to be, also hilarious. I love it

—— Jane Casey

True Crime Story is phenomenal. One of the most original thrillers I've read in years, perhaps ever. A gritty, twisted murder mystery told in the unique style of a true crime account. I've rarely raced through a book so fast. I'm just gutted that it's probably ruined me for thrillers for a good long while! Absolutely remarkable.

—— Robyn Young

WOW ! this is a work of outstanding and staggering genius! You always get beautiful prose and a crackling plot from Mr Knox. But this has extra madness. It's the most original book I've read in ages

—— Imran Mahmood

The most exciting and original crime book you'll read this year

—— Anna Mazzola

Dark, seedy, and not to be trusted, and that's just the character Joseph Knox, as written by Joseph Knox!This is a very clever book indeed. Fiction so convincingly written as true crime that I ended up Googling the victim just to check I hadn't got the wrong end of the stick.

—— Jack Grimwood

Totally gripping, original, and white- hot suspenseful

—— Robert Crais

An audacious idea, ingeniously executed

—— Sarah Hilary

One of the most unafraid contemporary crime writers ... a genre defying complex construct of smoke and mirrors, this book is very, very clever.

—— Helen Fields

A story that'll leave your head spinning and questioning just who gets to shape the narrative when a woman goes missing...

—— Stylist

Ingenious...brilliantly original

—— Laura Shepherd Robinson

Hugely ambitious

—— Irish Independent

Inventive, playful and hugely enjoyable.

—— Sunday Express

Supple and urgent - another slab of Knox brilliance

—— Metro

Knox has produced something extraordinary ... post-modern playfulness [embedded] in a rich and compelling plot that twists and turns until the final pages

—— The Big Issue

Astonishing! So clever, so original! Highly recommended

—— Jane Fallon

This clever novel reads like a true crime story (at times you have to remind yourself it's fiction), which makes it all the more compelling

—— Independent

An ingenious thriller

—— Choice Magazine

A very stylish novel revealing not only the unreliability of witnesses, but also the voyeurism in much crime reporting, crime investigation, and yes, in those of us who enjoy crime fiction

—— The Tablet

Book of the year
True Crime Story by Joseph Knox, a provocative mix of real and fictional crime in which the author himself investigates the disappearance of a student named Zoe. But is she a real or fictional character? With a fragmentary narrative style, this is something new in the overcrowded crime genre

—— Barry Forshaw, i Paper

Joseph Knox cements his reputation as one of the best of the new guard of British crime writers with True Crime Story, in which one Joseph Knox - a deliciously unflattering self-portrait - becomes entangled in the investigation into the disappearance of a student. It's a meta-fictional trick that helps to create a genuine (and genuinely pleasurable) sense of unease.

—— Best Books of 2021, The Telegraph

A thrilling mystery with a strong emotional heart

—— Woman & Home

Ingeniously constructed, with real flesh-and-blood characters and cliff-hanging suspense

—— Louise Candlish
