‘The history of crime detection has produced no more famous name than that of Sexton Blake’ William Franklyn stars as paperback hero Sexton Blake, with David Gregory as his assistant Tinker, in four original BBC Radio dramatisations from 1967. Lost from the BBC archives for over 40 years, these rediscovered episodes are presented for the very first time. ‘The Eight Swords’: When a woman is found dead at Paula’s hair salon, Sexton Blake is called in to investigate. ‘A Murder of Crows’: Over the past six weeks, two men have been murdered. And both shared the name George Crow. ‘Double and Quit’: The top-secret Department 7 recruit Sexton Blake as a special agent. ‘You Must Be Joking’: A friend from Blake’s club dies the day after receiving a sinister limerick. Plus a special bonus episode - ‘Murder on the Portsmouth Road’. In one of Britain’s earliest surviving drama recordings (from 1930), Arthur Wontner stars as Sexton Blake, tracking down a killer on a stormy night. WARNING: Due to the archive and off-air nature of some of the source material, the sound quality may vary. Also, some of the language on this recording reflects the era in which it was first recorded.
A thrilling debut that locks you in and loads up the tension!
—— SIMON KERNICKSean Black writes with the pace of Lee Child and the heart of Harlan Coben.
—— JOSEPH FINDERFunny, tough, and furiously paced, Lockdown explodes off the page.
—— JESSE KELLERMANHold on tight-this one burns like a lit fuse.
—— GREGG HURWITZAn action movie on the printed page. Throw into this mayhem Ryan Lock, a protagonist tough enough to take on the Jacks of this world (thats Bauer and Reacher) and you've got an adrenaline-rush read that you're not going to forget any time soon.
—— Russel McLeanMurder, kidnapping, explosions ... mix in Sean Black's no-nonsense all-action hero, Ryan Lock, and you have all the right ingredients for a top-notch thriller.
—— Zoe SharpClearly influenced by Child and Joseph Finder, Black drives his hero into the tightest of spots with a force and energy that jump off the page. Lock is clearly going to be around for a long time. With a spine-tingling finale that reminded me of Die Hard, this is a writer, and a hero, to watch.
—— Geoffrey Wansell, DAILY MAILAn excellent first novel...Black's style is supremely slick.
—— TELEGRAPH REVIEWClassic thriller start of a series.
—— LEICESTER MERCURYA seamless debut...funnier and more self-depreciating than Reacher.
—— DAILY TELEGRAPH REVIEWIrresistibly dramatic... Susan Hill has done the genre real honour
—— Chicago TribuneThe Woman in Black won’t fail to have you looking over your shoulder!
—— KettleStill gives us nightmares.
—— Jonathan Hatfull , SciFiNowIt is bursting with classic Gothic horror motifs and Susan Hill is a master of atmospheric descriptions. She evokes so cleverly the decrepit Eel Marsh House, the mention of its name enough to make the locals pause, their faces darken in unspoken wariness… The Woman in Black gives a thrilling sense of unease and provides just the right level of things that go bump in the night for a spine-tingling good read.
—— KhoollectThis spine-tingling novel… will certainly keep your nerves jangling
—— Woman's WeeklyAn excellent ghost story...magnificently eerie...compulsive reading
—— Evening StandardShe writes with great power, authentically chilling
