The Schism
Angebote / Angebote:
Sharp, compassionate and often darkly
comic, this intelligent literary thriller tells of
the struggle for survival in troubled times,
tackling schizophrenia, boxing, debt collection,
astrology and the occult in an absorbing and
fast-paced story of brotherly love.
By day, Patrick Farrell's work takes him through
the streets of London, repossessing credit cards
and searching for missing debtors. In the evenings
he visits his brother Mike, who stares out of his
hospital room window and talks about being
followed. His new relationship with Jane brings him
into contact with her friends, a group of fervent
believers in the occult, and tests his ability to remain detached and in control.
When Joshua Painter, a man with a history of
exploiting vulnerable people, begins to take an
interest in Mike, the balance of Patrick's world is
thrown out of kilter. Soon the lives of those he
cares about are suddenly, terrifyingly, at risk.
