Hunters in the Dark

'A modern Graham Greene' Sunday Times Robert Grieve pushing thirty and eager to side-step a life of quiet desperation as a small-town teacher decides to go missing. As he crosses the border from Thailand to Cambodia, he tests the threshold of a new future. And on that first night, a small windfall precipitates a chain of events involving a bag of jinxed money, a suave American, a corrupt policeman and a rich doctors daughter, in which Roberts life is changed forever. Alive with malice and grace, this is a taut tale reminiscent of the nightmares of Patricia Highsmith: a story of double identities, and innocence in the midst of evil, from a master of atmosphere and observation.
