Review
" 'In this superior, self-deprecating thriller, the workings of the plot are secondary to the elegiac realism of the story.' - Daily Telegraph 'Edric is a terrific storyteller but he also provides a pretty accurate picture of modern-day crime and the way that it affects so many people. Impressive stuff.' - Observer 'Edric keeps his readers - and Rivers - dangling on a tangled string.' - Scotsman 'Edric shows his mastery over the complexities of a crime thriller... Classic whodunit territory and lovers of the genre will find SIREN SONG right up their street.' - Yorkshire Evening Post"
Product Description
The second stunning literary crime novel in the Song Cycle trilogy from the acclaimed author of Booker-longlisted PEACETIME, and THE BOOK OF THE HEATHEN. In the second volume of the Song Cycle trilogy, Hull private Investigator Leo Rivers is approached by the mother of a girl who disappeared a year earlier in violent and mysterious circumstances. Investigating both the background to this disappearance, and the man held to be responsible, Rivers is drawn through a long, hot summer into a world of human-trafficking and Governmental corruption at every turn, each unravelled piece of the mystery moving him further from the vanished girl and deeper into a web of exploitation, greed, temptation, revenge and violence, from which even he is eventually unable to extricate himself without unforeseen and tragic consequences.
