It is summer, 2012. Charlie, a wealthy banker with an uneasy
conscience, invites his troubled cousin Matthew to visit him and
his wife in their idyllic mountaintop house. As the days grow
hotter, the friendship between the three begins to reveal its fault
lines, and with the arrival of a fourth character, the household
finds itself suddenly in the grip of uncontrollable passions. As
readers of James Lasdun's acclaimed fiction can expect, The Fall
Guy is a complex moral tale as well as a gripping suspense story,
probing questions of guilt and betrayal with ruthless incisiveness.
Who is the real victim here? Who is the perpetrator? And who,
ultimately, is the fall guy? Darkly vivid, with an atmosphere of
erotic danger, The Fall Guy is Lasdun's most entertaining novel
yet.
