Nineteen Eighty Three: Red Riding Quartet Pt. 4

by David Peace (Author)

Synopsis

Nineteen Eighty Three's three intertwining storylines see the Quartet's central themes of corruption and the perversion of justice come to a head as BJ, the rent boy from Nineteen Seventy Four, the lawyer Big John Piggott, who's as near as you get to a hero in Peace's world, and Maurice Oldfield, the senior cop whose career of corruption and brutality has set all this in motion, find themselves on a collision course that can only end in a terrible vengeance. Nineteen Eighty Three is an epic tale which concludes a body of work confirming Peace as the most innovative and remarkable new British crime writer to have emerged for years.
