Description
‘Simon Shaw’s creation, Philip Fletcher, is one of the joys of crime fiction’ Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph
Philip Fletcher, not yet fully recovered from his latest bout of life-threatening misdemeanours, takes a recuperative, undemanding job at the Chichester Festival for the summer season. What could be more pleasant (he reasons) than to idle away a relaxing few months in the countryside at the scene of some of his greatest triumphs?
But Fletcher’s rural idyll is disturbed by an undercurrent of sinister goings-on, and with two obsessive stalkers on the loose – not to mention that unspeakable loathsome and utterly untalented thespian, Richard Jones – there’s once again a premium on his dubious criminal skills. And in the ominous quiet of the Sussex countryside, the hunter soon becomes the hunted…
‘It’s possible that there’s a funnier and blacker writer than Simon Shaw, but if so I don’t know of one – First rate, funny and with an evil wit’ Crime Time
