Reviews - Long Time Dead

"From the word go, the no-nonsense cynicism of Dury is back and in full throttle ... Dury has the potential to be a long-running success story of Tartan Noir."
-The Scotsman

''Ripping, gutsy prose and a witty wreck of a protagonist makes this another exceptionally compelling, bright and even original thriller.''
-The Mirror

"If you've yet to discover the hardcore brilliance of Gus Dury, pour yourself a large one and start here."
-The Daily Record

"Gus shows us Edinburgh at its rawest. Gritty as always, Black puts his man through the wringer.”
-The Examiner, Tasmania

"A dark, personal journey with convincingly raw emotions and a protagonist who is digging beyond rock bottom."
-Crime Squad

"Another great installment in a great series. Dark, personal and disturbing this is a novel that will stay with you long after you finish it."
-Sons of Spade

"Long Time Dead is another urban classic from Tony Black and fans of the previous Gus Dury books – Paying For It, Gutted & Loss – won’t be disappointed.”
-Paul Brazill, Pulp Metal Magazine

"Tony Black has produced yet another fast-paced story that shows the dark side of Edinburgh. A hard-edged novel that always puts Gus in the most dangerous situations. This is a great fourth book from Tony Black, I look forward to his next.”
-EuroCrime

“One of the strongest voices in the UK crime scene at the moment, and it's a voice that gets clearer and more precise with each book. Tony writes with blunt force, creating dark and brutal stories that still manage to crack a gallus smile.”
