Vpervye na russkom — prodolzhenie 'luchshego britanskogo debyuta v zhanre detektiva za dolgie gody' (Crimescene Magazine), 'nuar ostryj kak britva, nechto sovershenno iz ryada von' (Li CHajld). Pervyj roman pro Ejdana Uejtsa, 'Sireny', stal v Anglii glavnym bestsellerom sredi detektivnyh debyutov 2017 g. (tirazh 100 tys. ekz.), byl pereveden na 18 yazykov, i v nastoyashchee vremya studiya Lookout Point ('Podhodyashchij zhenih', 'Dzhentl'men Dzhek') gotovit ekranizaciyu vsej trilogii. Detektiv-konstebl' Ejdan Uejts i ego naparnik po nochnoj smene detektiv-inspektor Satklif priezzhayut na vyzov v zakrytyj 'Otel'-palas'. Na pyatom etazhe pustuyushchego istoricheskogo zdaniya oni nahodyat cheloveka — smuglogo, goluboglazogo, shiroko ulybayushchegosya i mertvogo. Prilichno odetogo, no bez edinogo dokumenta v karmanah, i dazhe etiketki na odezhde sporoty. Bolee togo — udalena kozha s konchikov pal'cev, a zuby obtocheny pod koronki. Kak raskryt' ubijstvo cheloveka, kotorogo kak budto ne sushchestvovalo? Osobenno kogda iz proshloj zhizni Ejdana Uejtsa yavlyaetsya nezvanyj i uzhasayushchij prizrak… Slovo — avtoru: 'Na 'Ulybayushchegosya cheloveka' menya vdohnovilo real'noe ubijstvo, ostayushcheesya neraskrytym vot uzhe sem'desyat let, i dazhe lichnost' zhertvy do sih por ne ustanovlena. Pozhaluj, eto samyj strannyj i zagadochnyj sluchaj v istorii mirovoj kriminalistiki'.
