getting carterted lewis and the birth of brit noir

nick triplow

the story of ted lewis carries historical and cultural resonances for our own troubled times

Get Carter are two words to bring a smile of fond recollection to all British film lovers of a certain age. The cinema classic was based on a book called Jack’s Return Home, and many commentators agree contemporary British crime writing began with that novel. The influence of both book and film is strong to this day, reflected in the work of David Peace, Jake Arnott and a host of contemporary crime and noir authors. But what of the man who wrote this seminal work?

Getting Carter is a meticulously researched and riveting account of the career of a doomed genius. Long-time admirer Nick Triplow has fashioned a thorough, sympathetic and unsparing narrative. Required reading for noirists, this book will enthral and move anyone who finds irresistible the old cocktail of rags to riches to rags.

‘I wouldn’t be the writer I am without Ted Lewis. It’s time the world rediscovered him’ – Stuart Neville

‘Ted Lewis’s fictional world is so dark we nearly lost him. Nick Triplow’s book has brought him brilliantly back into the light’ – Mike Hodges, Director of Get Carter

perfume riverRobert Quinlan and his wife Darla teach at Florida State University. Their marriage, forged in the fervour of anti-Vietnam-War protests, now bears the fractures of time. For Robert and Darla, the cracks remain below the surface, whereas the divisions in Robert’s own family are more apparent: he has almost no relationship with his brother Jimmy. William Quinlan, Robert and Jimmy’s father, a veteran of World War II, is coming to the end of his life, and aftershocks of war ripple across all their lives once again when Jimmy refuses to appear at his father’s bedside. And a disturbed homeless man whom Robert at first takes to be a fellow Vietnam veteran turns out to have a devastating impact not just on Robert, but on his entire family.

‘Butler has not entered the significant and ever-growing canon of Vietnam-related fiction (he has long been a member), he has changed its composition forever’ – Guardian

supernatural sherlocksthe golden age of the occult detective

The period between 1890 and 1930 was a Golden Age for the occult detective. In the fifteen stories in this collection compiled by Nick Rennison, horrors from beyond the grave and other dimensions visit the everyday world and demand to be investigated. The Sherlocks of the supernatural – from William Hope Hodgson’s Thomas Carnacki, the Ghost Finder, to Alice and Claude Askew’s Aylmer Vance – are those courageous souls who risk their lives and their sanity to pursue the truth about ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night.

the fighterThe foster mother who saved Jack Boucher, now a washed up bare-knuckle fighter, from a childhood of abandonment in the care system rests in a hospice, her mind eroded by dementia. And Jack’s mind has begun to fail, too, as concussion after concussion forces him to carry around a notebook of names that separates friend from foe. But when Jack loses the money that will clear his debt with Big Momma Sweet, the queen of Delta vice, he is forced to step into the fighting pit one last time, the stakes nothing less than life or death.

walden of bermondseyWhen Charlie Walden took on the job of Resident Judge of the Bermondsey Crown Court, he was hoping for a quiet life. But he soon finds himself struggling to keep the peace between three feisty fellow judges who have different views about how to do their job, and about how Charlie should do his.

And as if that’s not enough, there’s the endless battle against the ‘Grey Smoothies’, the humourless grey-suited civil servants who seem determined to drown Charlie in paperwork and strip the court of the last vestiges of civilisation.

No hope of a quiet life for Charlie then, and there are times when his real job – trying the challenging criminal cases that come before him – actually seems like light relief.

chancekem nunn

The ‘disturbing and provocative’ (Los Angeles Times) novel about a forensic neuropsychiatrist at the end of his rope – now a major TV series starring Hugh Laurie and Gretchen Mol – from award-winning author Kem Nunn.

Chance is a dark story about psychiatric mystery, sexual obsession, fractured identities, and terrifyingly realistic violence – a tale told amid the back streets of California’s Bay Area, far from the cleansing breezes of the ocean. This is California noir, this is Kem Nunn country. It’s not pretty, it’s not sweet, but it is compelling and unforgettable.

‘God bless Kem Nunn, one of a rare breed, a novelist who knows how to write and isn’t afraid to plot and tell a story’ – Elmore Leonard

‘Chance takes place in the twilit world of noir, where people and things are never what they seem... for all the mayhem – its ending is delicately funny’ – New York Times Book Review

‘Brilliant and cerebral psychological thriller’ – Publishers Weekly

KEm NUNN is a third-generation Californian whose previous novels include The Dogs of Winter, Pomona Queen, Unassigned Territory and Tapping the Source, which was the basis of the film Point Break. Tijuana Straits won the Los Angeles Times Book Award. He lives in Southern California, where he also writes screenplays for television and film.

‘Is it too much to compare Kem Nunn to Raymond Chandler? Like Chandler, Nunn’s great subject is what lies beneath the surface, the desolation that infuses us at every turn...’ – Los Angeles Times

gravesendwilliam boyle

Ray Boy Calabrese is released from prison 16 years after his actions led to the death of a young man. The victim’s brother, Conway D’Innocenzio, is a 29-year-old Brooklynite wasting away at a local Rite Aid, stuck in the past and still howling for Ray Boy’s blood. When the chips are down and the gun is drawn, Conway finds that he doesn’t have murder in him. Thus begins a spiral of self-loathing and soul-searching into which he is joined by Alessandra, a failed actress caring for her widowed father, and Eugene, Ray Boy’s hellbound nephew. Ray Boy Calabrese is back in Gravesend: some people worship him, some want him dead… but none more so than the ex-con himself.

‘Gravesend is a book that hits you in the guts the same way David Goodis or Charles Willeford’s books do. Boyle’s mining that dark edge of America where no one is safe, not even from themselves. A dark ride but a seriously great ride’ – Willy Vlautin, author of The Motel Life and The Free

WilliAm BOylE is from Brooklyn, NY. Gravesend was recently translated into French and published as #1,000 in the Rivages/Noir collection. Gravesend has been shortlisted, with four other novels, for the Prix Polar SNCF 2017, one of the major literary awards in crime fiction. It was also nominated for the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière. Boyle is the author of a book of short stories, Death Don’t Have No Mercy. His second novel, Tout est brisé (Everything is Broken), will be released in France by Gallmeister in late 2017. He currently lives in Oxford, Mississippi and his new novel A Friend Is A Gift You Give Yourself will be published by No Exit Press in September 2018.

‘Gravesend is a taut exploration of the ways we hurt and save (or try to save) one another. With unforgettable characters, a fist for a plot and a deeply evocative setting, Boyle navigates alleys and streets with the best of them, Lehane, Price, and Pelecanos’ – Tom Franklin, author of Hell at the Breech, Smonk, and Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter

Detective Esa Khattak heads up Canada’s Community Policing Section, which handles minority-sensitive cases across all levels of law enforcement. For months, INSET, Canada’s national security team, has been investigating a local terrorist cell which is planning an attack but their undercover informant, Mohsin Dar, has been murdered. Khattak used to know Mohsin, and he can’t let this murder slide, so he sends his partner, Detective Rachel Getty, undercover into the unsuspecting mosque which houses the terrorist cell. As Rachel tentatively reaches out into the unfamiliar world of Islam, and begins developing relationships with the people of the mosque and the terrorist cell within it, the potential reasons for Mohsin’s murder only seem to multiply, from the political and ideological to the intensely personal.

the unquiet dead author ausma Zehanat khan once again dazzles with a brilliant mystery woven into a profound and intimate story of humanity.

a chilling thriller as compulsive as emma cline’s the girls.

It’s the Summer of 1967. The sun shines brightly over Boundary Pond, a holiday haven on the US-Canadian border. Families relax in the heat, happy and carefree. Hours tick away to the sound of radios playing ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ and ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’. Children run along the beach as the heady smell of barbecues fills the air. Zaza Mulligan and Sissy Morgan, with their long, tanned legs and silky hair, relish their growing reputation as the red and blonde Lolitas. Life seems idyllic. But then Zaza disappears, and the skies begin to cloud over...

the ways of wolfeTwenty years ago, college student Axel Prince Wolfe – heir apparent to his Texas family’s esteemed law firm and its ‘shade trade’ criminal enterprises – teamed up with his best friend, Billy, and a Mexican stranger in a high-end robbery that went wrong. Abandoned by his partners, he was captured and imprisoned, his family disgraced, his wife absconded, his infant daughter Jessie left an orphan. Two decades later, with eleven years still to serve, Axel has long since exhausted his desire for revenge – all he wants now is to see the woman his daughter has become, despite her lifelong refusal to acknowledge him. When the chance comes to escape in the company of Cacho, a young Mexican inmate with ties to a major cartel, Axel takes it and a massive manhunt ensues, taking the pair down the Rio Grande and into a desert inferno, towards reckonings many years in the making.
