Evocative, engrossing and entertaining * The Times
on Shadow of the Rock *
Shadow of the Rock, the first book by Thomas Mogford, is partly set
on Gibraltar. It's exciting and assured - with a hero wonderfully
called Spike Sanguinetti ... Popular fiction at its best * Susan
Hill, Spectator, Books of the Year *
I loved Shadow of the Rock. Mogford's sharp prose drew me in from
the first page and his intriguingly flawed hero Spike stands out in
the memory * Sadie Jones *
Very original, and brilliantly rendered ... a rare and enviable
talent * William Boyd *
Classic detective story ... Mogford is a fluent writer and the book
gains from its unusual setting * Sunday Times *
