Synopsis

The small team of policemen never even identified the dead girl, and for the officers involved her murder came to symbolise everything that was wrong with the city: a haphazard sprawl of commerce and indifference. Four months on, that group is in disarray. Sean has disappeared into the city's black heart and not returned, and Martin is separated from his job, his wife and his friends. But then a simple note from his ex-partner forces him to re-enter an investigation he'd rather forget. 'I found her', it says. His search leads him from one side of the city to the other, in a downward spiral of violence and pain, and drags him into the orbit of the things that are really wrong with the city: the eight brothers rumoured by legend to have control over everything. THE CUTTING CREW is an amazing piece of work. Part noir thriller, part surreal nightmare, it will grip readers of all genres.

Book Overview: THE THIRD PERSON was one of the most remarkable and ambitious crime debuts of 2004. Combing elements of many different genres it gripped and shocked in equal measure. THE CUTTING CREW is just as original but also far more accessible and pacey. It is dark, powerful and action-packed. It confirms Mosby as an author to watch... A core title in our NEW BLOOD promotion, THE THIRD PERSON got a great reviews and substantial sales. 'Debut novelist Mosby has packed a complex, sometimes bewildering plot with brilliant ideas. His book is fiercely orginal, truly intriguing. This is speculative fiction at its reckless best' Literary Review

Media Reviews
'Steve Mosby has invented a suitably dark and uneasy world for his excellent noir thriller. ... Mosby has a pleasingly consistent style that manages to encompass intense emotion, intellectual musings and vicious violence. Not an easy task. ' -- Matthew Lewin THE GUARDIAN
