product description
With an introduction by Colm Toibin 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION WITH EXTRA MATERIAL Shortlisted for the 1989 Booker Prize, a dark and unsettling Crime, Mystery & Thriller classic. Frederick Charles St John Vanderveld Montgomery. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Don't make me laugh. Freddie Montgomery has committed two Crime, Mystery & Thrillers. He stole a Dutch old-master painting from a wealthy family friend and murdered the chambermaid who caught him in the act. Narcissistic, greedy and reckless, Freddie travels through life apparently without remorse. However, as he narrates his testimony, he realises that the only person to be held responsible for his life, and his Crime, Mystery & Thrillers, is himself. He just can't quite admit it yet ...Shortlisted for the 1989 Booker Prize, John Banville's The Book of Evidence is a wonderfully dark, insightful and unnerving Crime, Mystery & Thriller novel that takes us deep into the unreliable mind of an improbable murderer.
