by Gregory Hall (Author)
A major new author in the Robert Goddard tradition joins HarperCollins.
Mortal Remains is a brilliantly plotted story of crime and passion that unravels in the double-narratives of a woman and her recently returned ne'er do well brother in a large house in Oxfordshire.
There are elements of crime and psychological thriller, but principally, this is just a fabulously good read that you could recommend to anybody who doesn't mind staying up all night to finish a book.

A splendid pacy blend of romance, thriller and scientific mystery with a compellingly intricate plot
Robert Goddard
A real mystery thriller. What an achievement to conceive such an ingenious combination of convoluted complications and how cunningly it all came right in the end. A really good read
John Timpson
Wonderfully atmospheric, with a hazy mist of violence and regret reminiscent of early Barbara Vine
Sunday Times
Literate and complex, THE DARK BACKWARD is a riveting journey through the dark side of human nature... Every page brings new surprises, as we race along, compelled to unravel the strands that Hall has so masterfully woven together
Jeffrey Deaver
Occasionally it happens! A reviewer picks up a first novel by an unknown author and finds he has a jewel. That is the case with The Dark Backward
Books Magazine
This atonishingly assured first novel falls into
`rattlingly good thriller'
category. The tension builds relentlessly: I couldn't put the book down till the last paragraph and that was at 3 am
Good Housekeeping
A highly impressive debut... wonderfully atmospheric with a hazy mist of violence and regret reminiscent of early Barbara Vine
