Jeremy Cameron spent ten years working in hostels for the homeless and twenty as a probation officer before turning his hand to writing.
“Ingenious, his street talk sizzles with wit and invention. . . . Engaging, eventful and original.” (Literary Review)
“Cameron has been compared to Roddy Doyle (amongst others) and it is easy to see why.” (Observer)
“The pleasure is intense. Jeremy Cameron has an unmatched ear for the shady melodies of London’s street. At last British writers are demonstrating the art of crime fiction.” (Time Out)
“With a feeling for street life that renders it sexy and poignant, uncommonly astute about crime and its causes. Cameron writes with one hand wired to the mains.” (Literary Review)
“Britain’s sharpest, funniest crime writer.” (Big Issue)
