‘Big brother meets Stephen King in this chilling novel that firmly delivers with a satisfying level of unease.’ J M Dalgliesh

Praise for Blinded by the Lights
"A striking novel, brilliantly written - for the fans of the dark and gritty!" Robert Bryndza
"Tough, knowing, high-octane crime fiction... Los Angeles has James Ellroy, Boston has Dennis Lehane, Oslo has Jo Nesbo. And Warsaw has its own two-fisted crime laureate in Jakub Zulczyk. Already a massive bestseller in Poland, this is brilliant stuff from a fresh new voice in crime fiction." Tony Parsons
"Dark, dangerous, and seductive… A truly terrific piece of writing and I can''t recommend it enough." G.D. Abson
