Another great UK review for The Cutting, this one from The Daily Mail one of the largest newspapers in the country. Starting to get a swelled head.

This crackling debut from a former New York advertising man packs a terrific punch, and comes complete with pace and panache, but it is dark meat. Hayman doesn’t write for the fainthearted.

The Cutting (same book, diferent cover, different publisher) comes out in the UK and British Commonwealthon January 6th. To be followed by The Chill of Night in July. Next Friday, I'll be meeting with my British publisher, Penguin UK, in London to discuss the launch and marketing and publicity. According to "The Bookseller" Penguin "is determined to build" the McCabe novels.

Anyone who's read The Chill of Night knows that the brutally low
temperatures of a very, very cold Maine winter play a key role in my story. But if you think it was cold in Mike McCabe's Portland, wait till you read Lee Childs' terrific 14th Jack Reacher thriller 61 Hours. If you like the Reacher books, check out my blog about Childs' and his vivid descriptions of the brutal South Dakota cold.
