In 1980, Leeds and West Yorkshire live under the fear of the Yorkshire Ripper's crimes: women dare not go out at night, the local police fail to stop the killer, and corruption corrodes their own ranks. Peter Hunter, deputy chief constable of Manchester police, investigates the investigators themselves.
Third installment of David Peace's Red Riding Quartet, a crime novel series set in the north of England. Original title: Nineteen Eighty; French translation by Daniel Lemoine.
For readers of crime fiction and historical fiction seeking a hard-boiled police plot about a real case from 1980s England.
David Peace is an English writer. Best known for his UK-set novels Red Riding Quartet (1999–2002), GB84 (2004), The Damned Utd (2006), and Red or Dead (2013), Peace was named one of the Best of Young British Novelists by Granta in their 2003 list. His books often deal with themes of mental breakdown or derangement in the face of extreme circumstances. In an interview with David Mitchell, he stated: "I was drawn to writing about individuals and societies in moments that are often extreme, and often at times of defeat, be they personal or broader, or both. I believe that in such moments, during such times, in how we react and how we live, we learn who we truly are, for better or worse."
