If you thought fiction couldn't get darker than David Peace's
extraordinary debut, Nineteen Seventy Four, then think again.
Nineteen Seventy Seven, the second instalment of the Red Riding
Quartet, is one long nightmare. Its heroes - the half decent copper
Bob Fraser and the burnt-out hack Jack Whitehead - would be
considered villains in most people's books. Fraser and Whitehead
have one thing in common though, they're both desperate men
dangerously in love with Chapeltown prostitutes. And as the summer
moves remorselessly towards the bonfires of Jubilee Night, the
killings accelerate and it seems as if Fraser and Whitehead are the
only men who suspect or care that there may be more than one killer
at large. Out of the horror of true crime, David Peace has
fashioned a work of terrible beauty. Like James Ellroy before him,
David Peace tells us the true and fearsome secret history of our
times.
