A State of Shock Summary

A State of Shock by Nicholas Salaman

Very funny, but very sinister story in bestselling style of Salamans The Frights.

A female barrister is given the job of defending a male murderer. Drawn into his story, she becomes convinced of his innocence. At the same time, she is plagued by disturbing phone calls. Her boyfriend is studying the decline of institutions, convinced that society can no longer cope with the speed of change in electronic communication.

How do the threads pull together? A weirdly sinister and at the same time indisputably very funny experiment will draw the various players into a modern maze of virtual reality and political chicanery.

Salaman combines laugh-out-loud one-liners with a disturbing vision of the world just around the corner in a tour de force entertainment.

A State of Shock Reviews

Praise for the authors previous novels:

The Frights:

Baroque characters, witty sex and stylishly funny
The Times

Deliciously piquant and affectionate observation
Cosmopolitan

Reeking with malice and lust a genuine talent for constructive alarm
The Guardian

Dangerous Pursuits
is great fun throughout a brilliantly sustained performance as preposterous as anything imagined by Tom Sharpe
The Standard

The Garden of Earthly Delights:

Crisply efficient and informative. Better still, the thickening of the atmospheric soup is pacey, enticing, carrying the reader briskly and agreeably along
Times Literary Supplement
