      Praise for The Final Cut:

      ‘It’s that man again…in Francis Urquhart he has created a true political icon. Dobbs lays fair claim to being the Quentin Tarantino of pulp fiction’

       Sunday Times

      ‘A triumphant return…The action is unflagging, the characterization razor sharp, the satirical barbs at politics and politicians unfailingly accurate…What a brilliant creation FU is’

       Sunday Telegraph

      For David, Peter and Linda. The Family Dobbs.

      ‘That we shall die, we know; ’tis but the time

      And drawing days out, that men stand upon.’

      William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
