“I could not put this book down. A really tightly written thriller which has opened my eyes to what goes on in the world of agriculture and Supermarkets. The sense of location and desperation is so well described. A story which could almost be a docudrama.”; “Paul Adam is to be congratulated in taking a topical and emotive subject and turning it into an immensely readable book.”; “This is about the 4th Paul Adam book I've read...I've loved them all and this one didn't disappoint! As with some of his other books, the story line is brilliantly researched and incredibly topical - the all powerful supermarkets, illegal immigrants and potential disease epidemics. You feel as you read it that it could all be happening right now - frighteningly believable! The main characters are great too - funny, interesting, quirky and real. It really was a compulsive read, and one of those books you're disappointed to finish. I really hope there's another one from Adam soon!”; "I've read all Paul Adam's books and as always this is not only a gripping thriller but also the author has obviously thoroughly researched his subject. This is an eye opening and all too believable story about the possible fate of illegal immigrants to the UK. Definitely worth a read." Amazon reader reviews;
