Q - Softcover

"It bracingly reanimates an era of frenzy that longed to burn the world clean" (The Guardian)

"The mud and blood, visions and ideals of 16th-century Europe come back to gruesome, glorious life" (The Independent)

"Big and bloody and breathtaking: a crush of colour and crowds, exotic locations and war." (The Times)

"Imagine Umberto Eco's knack for the swashbuckling thriller-of-ideas crossed with an artful touch of the Le Carr's - it boasts pace, colour, excitement and suspense to spare- Q works like a charm as a sordid, splendid period romp." (Independent)

"If ever there was a novel that deserved to win prizes, accolades and plaudits, it is Q - A rich, inventive and immensely powerful book - Q is a great novel, one that tells us about ourselves and how we came to be here." (Scotland on Sunday)

The former Watford and AC Milan striker Luther Blissett had nothing to do with the writing of this book. The real authors of Q live in Bologna.
