Out of the City by Nathan O'hagan
The new novel by Birkenhead-born Nathan O'Hagan, author of The World is (Not) a Cold Dead Place, turns the temperature down to absolute zero in a thriller that stalks the darkest corners of the male psyche.
On the streets of Liverpool, three lives - a young skateboarder, a steroid-crazed bodybuilder and a family man with a dark, troubled profession - are about to overlap in a dance of frustration, humiliation and murder.
This noir journey through bars, gyms, retirement homes, gay clubs and footballers' mansions leaves a trail of suffocating guilt and psychosexual violence that seems all too real. In exploring 'crises of masculinity', O'Hagan trenches psychological depths with a worldly cynicism worthy of Camus, Jim Thompson or Bret Easton Ellis - and transcends the limits of the crime genre as we know it.
