The Lemur by John Banville
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SNOW
'Banville is one of my favourite writers alive.' REBECCA F. KUANG
'More than a touch of genius.' THE TIMES
William 'Big Bill' Mulholland is head of one of New York's wealthiest dynasties. When Mulholland gets wind of a hostile biography planned, he commissions his journalist son-in-law John Glass to pen the official line. To help with the job, Glass hires a beady-eyed researcher - 'the lemur'.
But the next day, the Lemur is found dead, shot through the eye with a Beretta. What is the secret he knew, had he told anyone else, and why are the police suddenly asking Glass a lot of questions?
John Banville was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1945. He is the author of many novels, including The Book of Evidence; The Sea, winner of the 2005 Man Booker Prize; and the bestselling Stafford & Quirke series, which has twice been shortlisted for the CWA Historical Dagger.
