Book description
Norman Miller used to be one of Fleet Street's finest. Now he's a
middle-aged, burned-out hack with a gift for the sensational story,
the shouting tabloid lead. But as he reports on a series of brutal
murders and sex crimes, he's forced to wonder whether he is just a
witness - or part of some deeper pattern of cause and effect . . .
'Remarkable . . . Devastating . . . Required reading for anyone
interested in what British fiction should be doing today.' Stephen
Amidon, Esquire
