Críticas:
"Lasdun's controlled, devious storytelling style infuses every tick of the clock with tension." -- Kirkus Reviews "[A] terrific novel of suspense. . . Lasdun presents the inexorable turnings of fate in a subtle and disconcerting way." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Exquisitely written yet propulsively entertaining all at the same time. . . a journey into the psyche of a stalker by someone who has been stalked." -- Seattle Review of Books "As the pages turn, the nervous tension ticks ever higher in Lasdun's combustible psychological thriller." -- Entertainment Weekly "A twisty, chilly, exquisitely written, and tautly suspenseful exploration of big ideas in the guise of a psychological thriller. . .Lasdun's prose is both lapidary and hypnotic." -- Boston Globe "Expertly playing the noir card, Lasdun dissects the mercurial relationships among a wealthy financier, his photographer wife and an aimless cousin during a long hot summer in upstate New York. There are plenty of lies and betrayals in this stylish thriller, but it's the slow burn of obsession that makes it sing." -- People "Elegant and disturbing... This simple-seeming novel, so graceful in its unfolding, proves dense with psychological detail and sly social observations." -- Wall Street Journal "Exceptionally entertaining...The Fall Guy reads like early Ian McEwan or late Patricia Highsmith...Lasdun is masterly in his story's construction...This is exactly what a literary thriller should be: intelligent, careful, swift, unsettling." -- New York Times Book Review
Reseña del editor:
It is summer, 2012. Charlie, a wealthy banker with an uneasy conscience, invites his troubled cousin Matthew to visit him and his wife in their idyllic mountaintop house. As the days grow hotter, the friendship between the three begins to reveal its fault lines, and with the arrival of a fourth character, the household finds itself suddenly in the grip of uncontrollable passions. As readers of James Lasdun's acclaimed fiction can expect, The Fall Guy is a complex moral tale as well as a gripping suspense story, probing questions of guilt and betrayal with ruthless incisiveness. Who is the real victim here? Who is the perpetrator? And who, ultimately, is the fall guy? Darkly vivid, with an atmosphere of erotic danger, The Fall Guy is Lasdun's most entertaining novel yet.
