Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Monday lunchtime: a bank is being robbed. Gunmen tell an old man to get down on the floor; he refuses. Behind him in the queue is Rada Kalenkova, an investigator for the Office of Assessment, whose job is to evaluate the lives of the recently deceased. The gang leader fires a shot and one - or two? - women are killed? Perhaps. Rada ignores them and tries to follow the old man instead. Back at the office, her boss calls in the Inquisitor, Lopez, to investigate her misconduct; her ambitious brother, D (for Dmitry), is delighted. But nothing about the robbery or the putative killings make sense. The robbers are police employees inspired by Willie Sutton (who, asked why he robbed banks, never actually said: 'That's where the money is.') The bank manager denis anyone was hurt, and his deputy lets D see the blood stains up the wall. Every enquiry leads towards Edward Likker, a renowned fixer. But Likker is dead - D is writing his assessment - and his lawyer may have cut his own throat with a bread knife. D and Rada don't do suicides - their own father, who might not have been Russian after all, might have killed himself. Or not. But when their colleague Alex goes to investigate Rodkin's death, he disappears. And what exactly is Lopez looking for?The Fat of Fed Beasts is an ambitious literary mix of existential uncertainty, murder, bureaucracy, unreliable father figures and disaffected policemen. It asks why we do what we do, whether it matters, and what, if anything, our lives are worth. And it's funny.

Paperback. Condición: New. 'Fleshing out the shadowy metaphysical hints of Beckett's novels, this intellectual romp is the best debut I have read in years' Nicholas Lezard, The GuardianMonday lunchtime: a bank is being robbed. The gunmen tell everyone to get down on the floor, but an old man refuses. Behind him in the queue is Rada Kalenkova, an investigator for the Office of Assessment, recording everything she sees. Shots are fired and a woman is killed. Or maybe two. But Rada ignores the murders and pursues the old man instead.Nothing about the robbery or the putative killings makes sense. The robbers might be police. The bank manager denies anyone was hurt, despite the blood on the walls. Every subsequent enquiry leads towards Edward Likker, a renowned fixer. But Likker is dead.The Fat of Fed Beasts is an ambitious literary mix of existential uncertainty, murder, bureaucracy, unreliable father figures and disaffected policemen. It asks why we do what we do, whether it matters, and what, if anything, our lives are worth. And it's funny.'Ware has an uncluttered prose style and a willingness to stretch the boundaries of fiction. His sensibility is finely tuned to those grey areas of experience where identities shift, where people forget who they really are. No other writer springs to mind as a ready comparison to Ware: already he has defined a unique thematic territory.' Aiden O'Reilly, The Short Review.

Paperback. Condición: New. Guy Ware's new novel charts a course from the 1930s onwards through the fragmentary memories of the 85 year-old Charlie, whose identical twin brother JJ has recently died. Sons of a working-class Communist family, growing up in the radical Peckham Experiment and orphaned by the Blitz, the twins emerge from the war keen to build the New Jerusalem. In 1968, JJ's ideals are rocked by the fatal collapse of a tower block his council and Charlie's development company have built. When the entire estate is demolished in 1986 JJ retires, apparently defeated. Now he is dead and Charlie, preparing for the funeral, relives their history, their family and their politics. It's a story of how we got to where we are today told in a voice - opinionated, witty, garrulous, indignant, guilty, deluded and, as the night wears on, increasingly drunken - that sucks us in to both the idealism and the corruption it depicts, leaving us wondering just where we stand.

Paperback. Condición: New. Denis Klamm, feckless scion of two former Leaders, returns to the Island for his father's funeral, only to find it sinking. Or the sea rising - it depends what you believe. Either way, they're all going to drown - unless the young, idealistic and newly-elected Leader, Jessica King, really is the saviour long foretold by Our Island Story.But Jessica is only Leader because Ari Spencer, the special advisor's special advisor, has made it so. She wants solutions; Ari offers schemes. She wants to solve the climate crisis, house the homeless and bring justice for the victims of police brutality in a decade-old incident that Ari, for reasons of his own, would rather nobody looked at too closely. Or at all.While Denis falls under Jessica's spell and sets out to make the sort of grand romantic gesture guaranteed to attract attention, Ari hatches a plot to pit conspiracy theory against myth, unleashing a maelstrom of populism, ambition, religion, treachery, lawlessness, old wounds and new battles - along with the less familiar forces of love and grief. It won't save the Island, but it might just save his skin.The result sweeps cynical politicians and bureaucrats, corrupt policemen, ambitious clerics, former Soviet taxi drivers and would-be poets into a riotous, brutal and surprisingly touching black comedy about our refusal to face reality, even - especially - when it's about to kill us.

Paperback. Condición: New. This is what a bad day looks like: a day when something happens.Robert Exley works for the Faculty: he spends his life making sure that nothing ever happens. In counter-terrorism, that's your job. His wife worked there, too. She's been dead for years, but somehow she's never far away. Now their bookish son is leaving home. He writes an encrypted journal Exley feels obliged to decode, to read the things they cannot talk about. When Exley takes on a colleague's case, it leads to a flat full of explosives, guns and cash. The trouble is, it's the wrong flat. And when Exley finds a man in an orange jumpsuit shackled to the floor deep beneath the Faculty's offices, everything he thinks he knows turns inside out. Mixing Beckett and St Augustine, prison diaries, Japanese Go and Greek tragedy, The Faculty of Indifference is a profoundly black comedy about torture, boredom, suicide and love. Trapped in the moment between an intolerable past and so much worse to come, Exley finds there's nothing he can do but live.
