Richard Swan's forthcoming debut novel, The Justice of Kings (February 2022, Orbit), has received two further excellent endorsements:
"A fascinating look at justice, vengeance and the law - great characters, compelling and wonderfully written. A brilliant debut and fantastic start to the series."
James Islington, author of The Licanius Trilogy
"The Justice of Kings is utterly compelling, thoroughly engrossing and written with such skilful assurance I could barely put it down. The characters feel so real I swear I suffered every horror and hangover alongside them, and their world - though we just see the smallest portion of it here - feels vastly complex, poised on the brink of a disaster I can't wait to watch unfold!"
Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

"The author writes with precision and narrative ability, and the fundamental decency and lonely vulnerability of the character of DI Jago continues to appeal … fully recommended as well-written excellent historical fiction."
