Description
Book SynopsisAn amoral thriller, that's also a commentary on the London - and the world - we live in now, from the award-winning author of Barbarians
Trade ReviewAn intricately plotted novel of international intrigue that reads like a wickedly inspired collaboration by the young Evelyn Waugh, Patricia Highsmith, and Martin Amis. His prose glitters like a dagger, propelling us through a maze of deceptions and unexpected revelations * Joyce Carol Oates *
Cynical, dry, and sharp as a skewer. A wicked, twisty read * Mick Herron *
Hoffer is both excellent and original, and captures the morally dubious world of the international rich with panache, humour and some beautiful prose * Oliver Harris *
Glencross is blisteringly gifted - funny and brilliant - and tells a great, gripping story about the beautiful monsters of the London super-elite * David Lipsky, author of Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace *
Perfectly constructed and elegantly written, this is a superior thriller * NetGalley March Books of the Month *
Hoffer, born in Ohio but repurposed as a raffish, art-fancying scrounger, is by Graham Greene out of Patricia Highsmith . . . the novel packs a considerable punch * Irish Times *
Impeccably plotted * Daily Telegraph *
A likeable capriccio, stuffed with epigrams, the plot Wodehousian * Sunday Telegraph *
Wonderfully entertaining * Mail on Sunday, Thriller of the Week *
Detailed insights into the lifestyles of London's excessively rich . . . meticulous portrayal of Hoffer's circle, its convoluted codes and catty manners * TLS *
