About this product

Product Information

MAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST - From the Booker Prize winner of The Sea comes "an astonishing, disturbing little novel that might have been coughed up from hell ( The New York Times Book Review) about the dark confession of an improbable murderer. "Ireland's finest contemporary novelist." -- The Economist Freddie Montgomery is a highly cultured man, a husband and father living the life of a dissolute exile on a Mediterranean island. When a debt comes due and his wife and child are held as collateral, he returns to Ireland to secure funds. That pursuit leads to murder. And here is his attempt to present evidence, not of his innocence, but of his life, of the events that lead to the murder he committed because he could. Like a hero out of Nabokov or Camus, Montgomery is a chillingly articulate, self-aware, and amoral being, whose humanity is painfully on display.

"Here is an astonishing, disturbing little novel that might have been coughed up from hell."- The New York Times Book Review "Ireland's finest contemporary novelist."- The Economist " The Book of Evidence is a major new work of fiction in which every suave moment calmly detonates to show the murderous gleam within."-Don DeLillo, "Here is an astonishing, disturbing little novel that might have been coughed up from hell." -- The New York Times Book Review "Ireland's finest contemporary novelist." -- The Economist " The Book of Evidence is a major new work of fiction in which every suave moment calmly detonates to show the murderous gleam within." --Don DeLillo "Banville has excelled himself in a flawlessly flowing prose whose lyricism, patrician irony and aching sense of loss are reminiscent of Lolita." -- Observer "One of the most important writers now at work in English--a key thinker, in fact, in fiction." -- London Review of Books "Remarkable ... If all crime novels were like this one, there would no longer be the need for a genre." --Ruth Rendell, "Here is an astonishing, disturbing little novel that might have been coughed up from hell."

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
