Notă biografică

Simon Lewis was born in Wales in 1971. His first novel GO (1999) was published by a small press and then picked up by Corgi. It sold more than 40,000 copies and led Simon into work as a film screenwriter. A fluent Mandarin speaker, he has also co-authored the Rough Guide to China. Simon chose to set his debut crime fiction among the exploited Chinese workers smuggled into Britain. He currently lives in Brixton and Shanghai.

Recenzii

Inspired writing. Bad Traffic is a honey: suspense that never loses its grip.
Lewis's aim was to write a book that was 'fast-paced and pulpy with plenty of action'. He has certainly succeeded, but there's more besides - dark comedy, sensitive characterisation and an incisive rendering of the desperation felt by beleaguered strangers in a foreign land.
An impressive novel set in a milieu hitherto unused in crime fiction.
