Praise for 'Resurrectionist' (HB): 'Breakneck pace, brutal action, clever characterisation and twisty plotting ! James McGee brings Regency London to life -- or perhaps I should say to death!' Reginald Hill Praise for 'Ratcatcher': 'Irresistible! rambunctious entertainment.' Observer 'Rumbustious!a darkly attractive hero, terrific period atmosphere and action.' The Times 'Atmospheric and well researched! try it.' Daily Mirror ' Ratcatcher has everything: duels and derring-do, London highlife and lowlife, French lechery and treachery -- all contained in a fast-moving, cleverly constructed plot with an immaculately detailed historical background. Add a hero who is ruthless, mysterious and sexy, and it's a safe bet that Ratcatcher marks the start of a series that will run and run ! and run!' Reginald Hill ' Ratcatcher is a richly enjoyable and impressively researched novel -- also very gripping. James McGee is clearly a rising star in the historical galaxy and I look forward to Hawkwood's return.' Andrew Taylor, author of 'The American Boy'
