The Woman In The Fifth by Douglas Kennedy
Harry Ricks is a man who has lost everything. A romantic mistake at the small American college where he used to teach has cost him his job and his marriage.
Nail-bitingly compulsive.. A thumping good read. Kennedy has done it again * The Times *
An extraordinary tour de force * Mail on Sunday *
I ended up missing my stop to finish it * Daily Telegraph *
Classic Kennedy... extraordinarily compelling... Kennedy handles a morally complex, yet also surprisingly satisfying, ending with consummate skill, proving what a master he is * Daily Mirror *
A grim, claustrophobic atmosphere is layered with sleazy transactions and the emotional flaws of the characters. It's all neatly captured in Kennedy's sharp, shoot-from-the-hip prose * Independent on Sunday *
