Summary
The extraordinary fourth novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of Oxygen
In a world where people slaughter the innocent without mercy or retribution, how can we have faith in humanity, or the future?
Clem Glass, a photojournalist, returns from Africa to London convinced there is no hope for mankind. Yet after his sister falls ill and he takes her back to the West Country of their childhood, he cannot ignore the decency and kindness he encounters, or the pulse of goodness in his own heart. When news comes offering Clem the chance to confront the author of his nightmares, he must choose what sort of man to be.
