Lawless & the Devil of Euston Square Bewertungen

"A thoroughly enjoyable tale of terrorist agents at work in Victorian London." - Scottish Review of Books "William Sutton's first novel is fine, extravagant and thoroughly enjoyable - The action moves with dizzying speed from the highest quarters in the land to the vilest slums and low dives of the teeming city. - Thoroughly enjoyable. We are told that William Sutton is now at work on another Campbell Lawless mystery. If he can maintain this standard of invention, this mastery of linguistic tone, he is on to a winner." - Allan Massie, The Scotsman "First-rate Victorian crime fiction." - The Herald "Engaging, smart and witty - a highly alternative take on Victorian crime. Long live Lawless!" - Paul Johnson "A thoroughly enjoyable tale." - Scottish Review of Books "Prose and interweaving plots built like wrought-iron Victorian follies - Genuinely funny." - Scotland on Sunday "Where the book really shines is in its evocation of Victorian London: a living, breathing, stinking beast of a city." - The Bookbag

Über William Sutton

Will was born in Stirling, Scotland, and amongst other things, has studied acting with the renowned clown, Philippe Gaulier, and won two radio play competitions for LBC Radio. He's acted in the longest play in the world, The Warp (around 24 hours). He's played guitar for the inimitable Philip Jeays from Vancouver to Edinburgh. He's driven actors, including the gangster, "Mad" Frankie Fraser. He's also translated Latin, taught Greek and guitar. He's even taught Geography, and Spanish, which he doesn't speak. He's tutored the Sugababes; they turned sixteen and never took the exam, but he did teach one to play Leo Sayer's 'When I Need Love'. He also played cricket for Brazil. No, he's not Brazilian, but they wouldn't have a team if they were strict on the regulations. Will's team came third in the South American Cup. Out of three.
