Synopsis

Fiercely alive, marked by a sharp, unerring eye for detail and a wonderful way with metaphors. -Toronto Star At a psychiatric hospital in the eighties, patients formed what they called The Adjustment League to protect themselves against the depredations of a corrupt and abusive staff. Many years later, the leader of this group-a man known only as The Super - receives a letter leading to the discovery of a pornographic ring in need of adjustment. Mike Barnes is the author of eight previous books. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he lives and writes in Toronto, Ontario.

Media Reviews
Praise for The Adjustment League Mike Barnes's The Adjustment League weaves together elements of a psychological drama and a noir thriller as it follows a nameless man who feels compelled to right the wrongs inflicted on the helpless ... The dialogue flows naturally within a narrative that tightens, flares, and grows intense with perceptive descriptions, references, and allusions ... [B]oth a literary tour de force and a deft psychological thriller. --Foreword Reviews Masterful...The Adjustment League is suspenseful, exquisitely written and--at times--corrosively funny. --Maclean's
