Om denne bog

''Visceral and unpredictable, Silverback is doing what novels do best . . . Told with real intelligence, skill and compassion, this is a seriously impressive novel'' COLIN WALSH

''Silverback is both a murder mystery and a knottily impressive portrait of a peculiarly Ulster form of masculinity'' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

''Highly original . . . Many novels about The Troubles depict the horrors that take place on the street. This one, set at an intriguing remove, exposes the more ambiguous horrors gnawing within'' DAILY MAIL

In a Belfast courtroom Robert Rusting is on trial for the murder of his father, a former loyalist hardman. On the jury is James Fechner, a middle-aged surgeon in search of meaning in the hushed rooms of justice, inexplicably drawn to the younger man before him.

After trial, Fechner can''t quite return to life before those days in court. In dingy pubs and rowdy boxing halls Fechner inserts himself into Rusting''s world in another guise, following a compulsive pull to an aggressive, unapologetic way of life. So begins a close friendship, a relationship in which a battle for control is tacit but unspoken - and explosive.

Silverback is a powerful portrayal of the complications of masculinity and of the line between fragility and violence told in an unforgettable voice.
