Brit Grit at its best."Paul D Brazill, author of Guns of Brixton"David Siddall understands that sometimes terrible people are wonderful to read about. Siddall's turf is the mean streets of Liverpool, close on a literary map to George V Higgins' Boston or Ted Lewis' Scunthorpe. His subjects are bad luck and trouble. His characters are swindlers and losers who hatch schemes and stab backs. Sharp and bitter and funny, the stories in Breaking Even are like car crashes you can't look away from."Mike Miner, author of Prodigal Sons"An impressive collection of stories, by a talented and versatile author. Siddall's bread and butter is pure Liverpool noir, gritty and atmospheric, breathlessly paced and wickedly funny, but a couple of standout stories set afield prove he's just as good when he broadens his horizons geographically and stylistically both. This guy's a writer to watch."Owen Laukkenan, author of The Professionals"A full-house of hardboiled crime, followed with six shots, straight into a vein, of pure noir."Benedict J Jones, author of Pennies For Charon
