The Ultimate Truth confirms what we already know - that Kevin Brooks is one of the greatest storytellers we have. Travis Delaney is a terrific hero. Brave, intrepid, and most importantly, human. Bring on the next investigation...Phil Earle
The book is slick, believable and never talks down to its audience. . . the ending is as complex and multi-layered as any adult book.Crime Review
Kevin Brooks, a writer not averse to taking risks, chooses the road less travelled. In The Ultimate Truth he attempts to write a young private eye story that is both plausible and set in real place and time. Does he succeed? Yes, and brilliantly.
