I Am Gold A Harpur & Iles Mystery Bill James
Bill James has been called “the Elmore Leonard of Britain’s underworld” (Kirkus Reviews) and was named a Master of Crime in a mystery roundup by the London Sunday Times. He is the author of the Harpur & Iles mystery series, among other thrillers and crime novels. He lives in his native South Wales. “[Bill James'] strangely compelling series offers its own ample rewards.” —Mystery Scene “A master at creating chaos, James contains the paranoia through sheer force of style—an ironic idiom of elegant manners, ornate language and seething rage. Nothing vulgar or barbaric, but, like the style of assassination that Ember so admires, 'tidy' and 'hygienic' and madly funny.” —Marilyn Stasio, New York Times
