Praise for Fallout:
Winner of the antipodean Ned Kelly and Ngaio Marsh awards, Paul
Thomas is the author of a series featuring Maori policeman Tito
Ihaka.The various plotlines are adroitly woven into an
eye-poppingly complicated whole in this sharp, unexpectedly funny
police procedural with a cast of engaging characters, not least the
maverick Ihaka himself.' Guardian Praise for Death on Demand:
Ian Rankin tweets in January 2014:
"Finished reading Paul Thomas's 'Death on Demand' on flight to NY.
Big, bruising police procedural set in New Zealand. Excellent." --
Ian Rankin (@Beathhigh "Mazey, gripping plot, terrific maverick
cop, violent, profane, funny."
-- Ian Rankin (@Beathhigh "Ned Kelly Award-winner Thomas takes his
time letting readers in on what he's got up his sleeve in this
police procedural, but the deferred gratification is well worth it.
Ihaka, who must deal with prejudice from within the force,
investigates. A twisty plot and an unusual lead combine to make
this a winner." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
