Product Description

Product Description

Tim Scott, secure and comfortable in his professional London life, has a chance encounter with Sanjay Roy, an old colleague from university who shares with him a gruesome secret from their past. When Sanjay discovers that Tim's job provides him with high level access to his company's finances, he uses this secret to draw Tim into his own world of corruption and casual brutality. Tim is fascinated and repelled by the life that Sanjay opens up for him. But as he is increasingly sucked in, and as the consequences of his alliance begin to spin terrifyingly out of control, he is forced to seek a capacity for endurance - and for violence - which he has never suspected he had. Spanning the worlds of high finance and back street boxing, of prostitution and classical music, laying bare the urge to kill and the necessity to forgive, "The Reluctant Thief" is an intense exploration of the ways in which the worlds of crime and violence may touch upon ordinary lives. It examines the moral and psychological forces which compel people into crime, and may help them climb out of it. This is a tale of the dark side of the human psyche, but also a story of a kind of redemption through love and shared humanity.
