Mystery, murder, and mayhem abound in this highly imaginative, devilishly plotted adventure from Granta Best of Young British Writers Beauman, author of the Man Booker long-listed The Teleportation Accident.
Beauman, named one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists in 2013, has crafted a raucous, seriocomic mash-up of mystery and noir. Combining a wickedly inventive plot with dazzling metaphors and trenchant social observations, this smart and streetwise novel will bring a glow to the reader as well.
Shortlisted for both the 2010 Guardian First Book Award and the 2011 Desmond Elliott Prize, this book will appeal to readers of offbeat fiction, especially those with an interest in the World War II era.
