A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A darkly funny, moving and original novel about a man coming to terms with the corruption around him and the conscience within.

Harry Fielding is a shabby, solitary, but basically cheerful sort, living in a seamy flat in London and subsisting on a diet of gin and pre-packed airline meals in unmarked silver containers. He also works for MI5. Surveillance, protection, the occasional rough-and-tumble - just enough to keep body and soul together. However, when Harry witnesses Lisa, his next-door neighbour, killing and burying her sister's violent husband, he begins to lose his appetite...

Revue de presse

"As flawed heroes go, Harry Fielding must rank as among the best of them" (Irish Independent)

"An exciting, literate thriller" (Sunday Times)

"As a modern moral tale, The Crooked Man works wonderfully... As a thriller it has more twists and turns than an offficial statement by a government spokesperson. Forget those dime-a-dozen airport thrillers, this is a gripping page-turner with pages worth turning" (Sunday Tribune)
