'Charlie Higson's thrillers are major events' Mark Billingham
'Funny, very tough and full of action' Patricia Highsmith 'Uncoils
with wit and imagination' Time Out It seemed straightforward
enough. Sean had now consumed so much alcohol that everything
seemed perfectly reasonable. He'd started planning the job already.
The first problem was how to do it. Thirteen thousand pounds in an
envelope seems a fair price for a man's life. Particularly if you
don't know the man, he seems a nonentity, and you quite fancy his
wife. And there's no chance of being caught. Sean is a drifter,
working as a building labourer and waiting for something to happen.
When Sean is offered easy money to tail someone and even more easy
money to dispose of him, it's all more tempting than you might
think. Except when you realize that you've been led up the garden
path the whole way... King of the Ants is dark, disturbing and
violently comic. In the tradition of both Joe Orton and Iain Banks,
Charlie Higson pinpoints the casual vagaries of evil and its
attendant powers. Unnerving, horribly accurate and wickedly
enjoyable, it remains Higson's finest book.
