"A sulphurous mixture of ferocious violence and high-fl own philosophy."-Prospect

The third novel in the acclaimed Factory crime series sees Derek Raymond's nameless detective leave London for a remote village, where he's meant to be investigating the disappearance of a local doctor's wife.

A fitting successor to classic noir writers such as Jim Thompson and David Goodis, with an introduction by Will Self. High-profile fans include Ian Rankin and James Sallis.
