Praise
"With corrupt officers, conflicting loyalties and a police force that is so understaffed it barely functions, Bartlett paints a chilling portrait of a world where the old questions still remain potent - ‘Who guards the guardians?’ Peter James had better watch out, he has a new competitor."
Daily Mail
"The real deal. Authentic and gripping, with a wealth of insider knowledge."
Rosamund Lupton
"Bad For Good has everything you want in a crime novel; compelling protagonists, chilling villains, and an engaging, well-constructed plot. And by telling the story through the eyes of senior police officers rather than the rank and file, Bartlett is doing things just that little bit differently. One of the most confidents debuts I've ever read."
M. W. Craven
"A great story, brilliantly told, completely unputdownable."
Julia Crouch
"Bad for Good hits the page running. Graham Bartlett is a retired high-ranking police officer, but it’s his rapier sharp skill in telling a good story that more than counts. I loved it!"
Lesley Thomson
"A taut, visceral thriller that reveals the seamy underbelly of modern-day policing, rife with authentic detail. If you liked Line of Duty, you’ll love Bad for Good."
J. P. Delaney
"Woven with such authenticity and a keen eye for detail, Bad For Good is a cracking procedural that quite literally doesn’t pull any punches."
Victoria Selman
"Vicious criminals and dysfunctional police described by a man who who knows.”
Anthony Horowitz
"Gripping, clever, masterly written and reeking authenticity on every page."
Peter James
"This is the real deal. A thoroughly absorbing crime novel with characters - and events - that will stay with you for a long time."
Elly Griffiths
"A cracking debut."
Mark Billingham
"Brutally realistic, with a compelling cast of characters, Bad For Good is a genuine can't put it down page-turner...:
Eve Seymour
"This is such a well-written and compelling read written by somebody who definitely knows what they're talking about. With insights into police procedurals, the way in which the police world works and a truly terrific plot, it's the real deal."
