Praise for our books

  • ‘Engaging throughout.’

    After the Bridge

    Danuta Reah, author of ‘The Last Room’ and ‘Not Safe’.

  • ‘Dark, twisted and utterly compelling. Loved every moment.’

    Emma Haughton, author of 'The Dark’ and 'The Sanctuary’.

  • 'In a very noir world, Andrew Field offers us a very noir novel.'

    The Irresponsible Reader

  • 'After The Bridge is consistently entertaining with a lively wit and inventive energy sustained throughout. Particularly appealing is the portrayal of strong women and …. sympathetic characters despite their excesses and flaws.'

    Martin Fletcher, editor

  • 'Much to admire.'

    Stephanie Glencross, editor, literary agent

  • '...a cleverly constructed tale, boasting an intricate interweave of plot strands and a cast of off-beat, unpredictable and jump-off-the-page realistic characters. Looming over it all is Manchester itself, and the setting is so well realised you can almost smell the dank canal-side air.'

    Sandra Mangan, Crime Fiction Lover

  • 'What a wild ride.'

    Anne Foster, GoodReads Reviewer

  • ‘This is a rocket-powered ride, totally gripping from beginning to end.’

    Katie Vandyck, screenwriter

A Red Manifesto

No artificial intelligence was used in the creation of our books, blogs and words at Hit the North. We no like AI and the corporations exploiting creatives and not paying them to train their computers. Bad boys. We are sort of boycotting them (and anything Trumpian or Russian — often the same thing) as much as we can. You can too by buying direct from us rather than Amazon (World of Books is a great alternative to billionaire Jeff’s cash cow).
