Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize Headlong begins when Martin
Clay, a young would-be art historian, believes he has discovered a
missing masterpiece. The owner of the painting is oblivious to its
potential and asks Martin to help him sell it, leaving Martin with
the chance of a lifetime: if he could only separate the painter
from its owner, he would be able to perform a great public service,
to make his professional reputation, perhaps even rather a lot of
money as well. But is the painting really what Martin believes it
to be? As Martin is drawn further into this moral and intellectual
labyrinth, events start to spiral out of control . . . Shortlisted
for the Man Booker Prize, Whitbread Novel Award and the James Tait
Black Memorial Prize for fiction, Headlong is an ingeniously comic
thriller that follows a young philosophy lectuerer's obsessive race
through the art world in search of an elusive masterpiece. Michael
Frayn's other novels include Spies, which won the Whitbread Best
Novel award, and Skios, which was longlisted for the Booker Prize.
