If you don't know Paul Brazill, then you haven't got a computer! The man's everywhere - am sure there's two of him. A while back, I commented on TKnC that his writing was / is 'Brazilliant'. And he's a top bloke to boot (not literally of course). Paul Brazill's Crime Fiction Choice
PICTURES OF YOU by Keith Rawson & Chad Eagleton - Darkest Before The Dawn, December 2009.
Purcell is serving ten years in a prisons protective wing. One day he has a visitor. A stranger who shows him a photograph of his beloved wife, half naked and tied up. The deal is this: Purcell’s wife will be set free only after he does them a favour. A dangerous favour. And he has 48 hours to do it.
Pictures Of You is a brilliant piece of hardboiled noir writing from two of the best crime writers around. It’s strong on atmosphere and has meaty characterisation, sharp dialogue, great images and a plot that keeps you constantly on your toes.
Highly recommended.
Cheers, Paul!

Paul,
Nice punchy review of a top notch crime story.
Ps. I had problems logging on to your site to get the link, will try again.
Sounds like a winner, Paul. Thanks for the recommendation.
Also, is there any chance I could meet the good twin? What with there being two of you?
Thanks, Paul.

...and we're both the Evil twin....
Top review, Paul and thanks for that. I'm not yet familiar with this tale but both of these guys are terrific writers and I'll check this out as soon as I can.
Another one in a great series, Col - top stuff from you too.
Kind regards.
Great call. That was an excellent story.
Al & Sean - cheers, guys.
Sounds like a winner.
Paul, this was another great review by you. Col knows he can depend on you to peak our interest. By the way incase you guys don't know this Paul was my first guest on my debut of cavalcadeofstars and he did a phenominal job. Col will also debut there soon.
Cheers, Jeanette.
Paul's mark of approval means guaranteed quality, as he's a top writer himself. I'll be tuning in to see if that Col Bury fella you speak of is any good! :-)
Thanks for the headsup Paul. We have similar tastes, obviously!
