Stronger Than Death

London: Headline, 1999. Near Fine. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout, not an ex-lib: 'Scott is fast becoming a master of accessible but multi-layered fiction' ( Big Issue ) 'With Stronger Than Death, Manda Scott establishes herself in the front ran k of contemporary crime fiction' (Val McDermid ) 'I couldn't stop reading it, simple as that. And I believed it. It has the readability of genre and the seriousness of purpose, the validity, of liter ature... It's a fine book, one that transcends genre labelling. In the end it's about rage, trust, loyalty and death...' (Andrew Greig ) 'Scott's writing is powerful and subtle, her characters have depth, the plot is impeccable and original, and the shiver-count high. Her first two novels were impressive; STRONGER THAN DEATH propels her into the front rank of British crime writers' (The Times ).
