Author:Richard North Patterson
The nation is stunned silent when presidential hopeful James Kilcannon is shot dead point blank, while sharing the stage at a benefit concert with his rock star girlfriend Stacy Tarrant. Fiercely independent attorney Tony Lord defends the assassin in a sensational trial that erupts in to the media event of the decade. But the most shocking gambit ever witnessed in the history of television has yet to unfold. As America watches, a mysterious and ruthless figure known only as Phoenix takes to the airwaves in the ultimate act of high-tech terror. Holding the wife of a wealthy newspaper mogul and Stacy's manager hostage, Phoenix mounts a televised trial of his own - in which Stacy Tarrant and Tony Lord are the helpless defendants, millions of viewers are jurors, and - unless his chilling demands are met - Phoenix is the unstoppable executioner. . .
Patterson is one of the best in the business
—— TimeMr Norris Changes Trains is a masterpiece in comic portraiture
—— GuardianIn Mr Norris Changes Trains, Isherwood sketches with the lightest of touches the last gasp of the decaying demi-monde and the vigorous world of Communists and Nazis, grappling with each other on the edge of the abyss
—— Sunday TelegraphReading Goodbye to Berlin is much like overhearing anecdotes in a crowded bar while history knocks impatiently at the windows.
—— GuardianTouching...it will make you laugh, maybe make you cry and keep you reading past bedtime
—— Lauren Laverne , GraziaA wickedly funny, painfully honest look at families, festivities and romantic love
—— Marie ClaireTender, tough, schmaltzy, witty and heart-warming all at once. Knight has a great comic touch - there are some wonderfully rude bits and a fantastic rant about the ridiculous expectations piled on 21st-century women to be perfect - and writes with a deceptive lightness. At the heart of this funny, affectionate novel is an acknowledgement that families, like love, come in odd shapes and sizes, and that both matter more than anything
—— MetroWitty enough to make you laugh out loud, but there are moments of real emotion that keep the book from being too light
—— PsychologiesA superb ear for dialogue...wonderfully comic
—— Evening StandardRiotously high in laughs and glamour. I defy a festive grump not to be cheered by it
—— Independent Books of the YearFast-paced and funny
—— Women & HomeInfluenced by magical realism and the cool prose of modernism, first-time author Chloe Aridjis takes the best from each
