Book Synopsis

''Viscerally vivid . . . a sucker-punch of a novel, edged with knife-sharp black humour and shot through with moments of startling beauty . . . half Tarantino and half pitch-black northern realism'' Guardian

''A tremendously exciting novel . . . A brilliantly realized voice: Steve''s every utterance is the product of where he comes from . . . as blunt and brutal as the fells he works among'' Times Literary Supplement

''A spiky, precisely focused novel with flavour, intensity, and oodles of character'' The Times

''Preston''s debut arrives like a punch to the gut . . . This is an elemental tale shaded in tones of heroism, machismo, moral intensity, and mythmaking. It''s also a love song to the landscape . . . Gritty, gripping, and fearlessly committed'' Kirkus

''A blistering debut . . . This dark and inspired tale pulses with life'' Publishers Weekly
