Book description
'I worked one hundred murders,' says Detective Mike Hoolihan, an
American policewoman. 'In my time I have come in on the aftermath of
maybe a thousand suspicious deaths, most of which turned out to be
suicides, accidentals or plain unattendeds. So I've seen them all:
jumpers, stumpers, dumpers, dunkers, bleeders, floaters, poppers,
bursters. But of all the bodies I have ever seen none has stayed with
me, in my gut, like the body of Jennifer Rockwell. I say all this
because I am part of the story I am going to tell, and I feel the need
to give you some idea of where I'm coming from.'
Night Train is a mystery story which lingers in the reader's
mind even after Mike Hoolihan declares the case closed.
Martin Amis is the author of thirteen novels, the memoir
Experience
, two collections of stories and six collections of non-fiction, most
recently
