'A crime trilogy so searing it will burn forever into your memory. McIlvanney is the original Scottish criminal mastermind' - Christopher Brookmyre
'The Laidlaw books are not just great crime novels, they are important ones. McIlvanney proved that crime writing could have both perfect style and huge ambition. Most of us writing crime fiction today are standing on the shoulders of giants. McIlvanney is one such giant' - Mark Billingham
'It's doubtful I would be a crime writer without the influence of McIlvanney's Laidlaw. Here was a literary novelist turning his hand to the urban, contemporary crime novel and proving that the form could tackle big moral concerns and social issues' - Ian Rankin
