Nightmare by Lynn Brock
Driven to madness by the cruelty of a small group of people, a young novelist sets about taking murderous revenge.‘Ambitious and genuinely distinctive … I'd be surprised if any of Brock's other books are as good as this neglected gem’ Martin Edwards
‘. . . Here is a thriller that ought to have been written by Poe. Every now and again Mr. Brock lives in the nightmare he has created by the trigonometry of detective fiction, and gives you a vivid glimpse of it that startles you into a gasp not only of horror but also of fervent admiration. Full justice to his subtle insight into character and contrasts of character could be done only by revealing the secrets of his plot, which is not permissible . . . There is genius in Mr. Brock’s power of charging a moment with noises, colour and feeling until it seems more real than life.’ Times Literary Supplement
Lynn Brock was one of the most popular and prolific detective novelists of the 1920s and 30s, famous for creating the detective character Colonel Gore.
