'Pin-sharp crime scenes, and devilish detail - Knock ‘Em Dead is a winner from page one.” – Dagger-winning author Jim Kelly.'A winning blend of great characters, fun location, taut plot and dirty politics.” - Martin Walker, best-selling author of the Bruno Courrèges novels

'Maintaining a continuing character interestingly and effectively is no easy task but Morfoot accomplishes it with flair and imagination… Morfoot’s fluent storytelling engages and holds interest as the twists and turns of a complex case are unravelled... Readers of quality crime fiction will enjoy this, and those who are also jazz fans will get an extra kick.” - Bruce Crowther, Jazz Journal, Feb 19, 2020'Peter Morfoot’s policiers featuring jazz-loving Captain Paul Darac of Nice’s BrigadeCriminelle comprise one of the best crime series I have discovered in the last ten years. The fourth instalment, Knock ’Em Dead, is published by Galileo, and delivers on all fronts. The lead detective, Darac, is a sympathetic character immersed in jazz and can be found playing at the Blue Devil club where musicians often outnumber customers, but when on duty is an intuitive and dedicated detective. He is supported by a well-drawn ensemble cast of police and forensic officers – and the forensics in Knock ’Em Dead are frighteningly convincing – and as he operates in Nice and the South of France, he (and the reader) has sunshine, great food and good wine on his side. For Darac, it is some compensation, along with a flourishing love life, for having to deal with crimes both brutal and bizarre, including, it seems, one death by high speed express train.'- Mike Ripley: Shots Magazine.
