The seventy-fifth anniversary edition, with a new introduction by
Anthony Quinn. 'I recommend Hamilton at every opportunity, because
he was such a wonderful writer and yet is rather under-read today.
All his novels are terrific' Sarah Waters 'If you were looking to
fly from Dickens to Martin Amis with just one overnight stop, then
Hamilton is your man' Nick Hornby Patrick Hamilton's novels were
the inspiration for Matthew Bourne's new dance theatre production,
The Midnight Bell. London, 1939, and in the grimy publands of Earls
Court, George Harvey Bone is pursuing a helpless infatuation. Netta
is cool, contemptuous and hopelessly desirable to George. George is
adrift in a drunken hell, except in his 'dead' moments, when
something goes click in his head and he realises, without a doubt,
that he must kill her. In the darkly comic Hangover Square Patrick
Hamilton brilliantly evokes a seedy, fog-bound world of saloon
bars, lodging houses and boozing philosophers, immortalising the
slang and conversational tone of a whole generation and capturing
the premonitions of doom that pervaded London life in the months
before the war.
'All his novels are terrific, but this one is my favourite' Sarah
Waters Patrick Hamilton's novels were the inspiration for Matthew
Bourne's new dance theatre production, The Midnight Bell. Measuring
out the wartime days in a small town on the Thames, Miss Roach is
not unattractive but no longer quite young. The Rosamund Tea Rooms
boarding house, where she lives with half a dozen others, is as
grey and lonely as its residents. For Miss Roach, 'slave of her
task-master, solitude', a shaft of not altogether welcome light is
suddenly beamed upon her, with the appearance of a charismatic and
emotional American Lieutenant. With him comes change - tipping the
precariously balanced society of the house and presenting Miss
Roach herself with a dilemma.

Brandon wants excitement and little cares how he gets it. He
persuades his weak-minded friend, Granillo, to assist him in the
murder of a fellow undergraduate. The two place the body in a
wooden chest and, to add spice to their handiwork, invite a few
acquaintances, including the dead man's father, round to a party,
the chest with its gruesome contents serving as a supper table. The
horror and tension are worked up gradually; thunder growls outside,
the guests leave, and we see the reactions of the two murderers,
watched closely by the suspicting Rupert Cadell. Finally, they
break down under the strain and confess their guilt. The final
curtain descends on Cadell blowing the whistle which will summon a
waiting policeman. Rope, first produced and published in 1929, was
filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1948 and remains to this day one of
the classics of the thriller genre.

Ernest Ralph Gorse's heartlessness and lack of scruple are matched
only by the inventiveness and panache with which he swindles his
victims. With great deftness and precision Hamilton exposes how his
dupes' own naivete, snobbery or greed make them perfect targets.
These three novels are shot through with the brooding menace and
sense of bleak inevitability so characteristic of the author. There
is also vivid satire and caustic humour. Gorse is thought to be
based on the real-life murderer Neville Heath, hanged in 1946.
The Midnight Bell, a pub on the Euston Road, is the pulse of this
brilliant and compassionate trilogy. It is here where the barman,
Bob, falls in love with Jenny, a West End prostitute who comes in
off the streets for a gin and pep. Around his obsessions, and Ella
the barmaid's secret love for him, swirls the sleazy life of London
in the 1930s. This is a world where people emerge from cheap
lodgings in Pimlico to pour out their passions, hopes and despair
in pubs and bars - a world of twenty thousand streets full of
cruelty and kindness, comedy and pathos, wasted dreams and lost
desires.
