IN THE BURNING HEAT OF THE SUN, MURDER IS DEADLY COLD.
Having resigned from Bishkek Murder Squad, Akyl Borubaev is a lone wolf with blood on his hands. Then the Minister of State Security promises Akyl his old life back . . . if Akyl finds his vanished mistress. The beautiful Natasha Sulonbekova has disappeared in Dubai with information that could destroy the Minister’s career.
But when Borubaev arrives in Dubai – straight into a scene of horrific carnage – he learns that what Natasha is carrying is worth far more than a damaged reputation. Discovering the truth plunges him into a deadly game that means he might never return to Kyrgyzstan . . . at least, not alive.

Storytelling of the highest quality . . . Introduces a detective it is impossible not to believe in. Callaghan is a new voice to be welcomed
A powerfully descriptive writer
Unforgettable
Even better than Child 44. Akyl Borubaev is a terrific creation
A Killing Winter is a brilliant debut, and an early contender for one of my top reads of the year
[Tom Callaghan's] gloomy atmospheric portrait convinces and he writes with style and panache . . . A lively story and a riveting glimpse of an unknown society
His [Tom Callaghan's] descriptions are wonderful - sickeningly so in fact
It's brutal but not cynical; you feel it . . . atmospheric and stirring
Callaghan is a hell of a writer, with a tremendous sense of pace and an arch ear for juicy dialogue, and the pages fly by.
This is a wonderful book . . . the narrative is savage yet at the same time beautifully crafted . . . A Killing Winter satisfies on so many levels
Ticks all the boxes of plot, setting and character.
The story and writing sustained me right through to the killer twist ending
Fast-paced and enthralling
The denouement is suitably surprising and satisfactory. I got there breathless and tense
A Killing Winter is a highly accomplished debut . . . Tom Callaghan is a name to watch.
Just keeps getting better . . . buy the whole series right away
Borubaev has developed into a deeply satisfying protagonist, capable of humanity amid the violence
