FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LAST ORDERS AND MOTHERING SUNDAY,
reissued for the first time in Scribner Prentis, employed in the
police archives, is becoming confused. His obsession with the
plight of his father, a wartime hero now the mute inmate of a
mental hospital, is alienating him from his wife and children,
while at work he feels under scrutiny from his intimidating boss,
Quinn. Gradually, Prentis suspects that his father's breakdown and
Quinn's menacing behaviour are related and that the connection is
to be found in his father's memoir: 'Shuttlecock'. Shuttlecock is
an intense psychological thriller and much more. With poignant
force and sometimes dark comedy, it links the secrecies and quirks
of domestic life with the enigmas and violence of crime and war. 'A
small masterpiece' The Guardian 'Excellent, profound' Alan
Hollinghurst
