Clay is clearly a powerful writer, able to lift images out of the ordinary and into originality.

Dark and beautifully paced, Double Exposure is a fascinating combination of noir styling with paranormal elements that work in a seamless manner... Cleverly constructed, and particularly for this non-enthusiast for the paranormal, unexpectedly believable, Double Exposure is written with considerable aplomb and style.

It reminded me a little of Paul Auster's New York Trilogy, another noir narrative that slipped from the hardboiled into something else. That's a big comparison but the writing here is solid, making this a very well executed debut.
