A propos de cet article

Graham Swift's second novel published by Allen Lane in 1981. 1st Edition, 1st impression, signed by the author to the title page. Near fine throughout. Page block is clean, though a little foxing to the top edge. Boards clean and square, corners sharp, base of spine shows a little bumping. Dustjacket in protective sleeve unclipped, top left corner of the spine, there is a defect, a couple of mm, not a tear but the green surface has come away leaving a tan underside. Overall an excellent copy of this 41 year old novel. Happy to answer queries, share more information/phots, etc.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Prentis, the narrator of this nightmarish novel, catalogs "dead crimes" for a branch of the London Police Department and suspects that he is going crazy. His files keep vanishing. His boss subjects him to cryptic taunts. His family despises him. And as Prentis desperately tries to hold on to the scraps of his sanity, he uncovers a conspiracy of blackmail and betrayal that extends from his department and into the buried past of his father, a war hero code-named "Shuttlecock"--and, lately, a resident of a hospital for the insane.
