Praise for Blood Money

This feisty, pacey thriller by TV news reporter turned writer Tom Bradby has it all - nervy gangsters, crooked politicians, gutsy cops and a sexy moll. It is also blessed with excellent timing....A top-notch piece of crime writing

Press Association

Compulsively readable...Bradby makes the most of his exotic ingredients to create a story rich in atmosphere and steeped in intrigue

Yorkshire Evening Post

The smoky romantic notion of speakeasies and Irish beat cops...is captured beautifully by Bradby's love of minute detail.

News of the World

This story of murder stalking a group of bankers during the Wall Street Crash of 1929 couldn't be more topical
