About Nineteen Eighty-Three (from the publisher): Three separate narrators whose paths are on a collision course, a dark study of perverted justice, retribution, and urban decay. Maurice Jobson is a Yorkshire cop whose greed and corruption has rotted the police force to the core; BJ is a local street thug who finds he can no longer safely lurk in the shadows; and John Piggott, a lawyer, is as honest and forthright as they come. His investigation of a long-cold murder might just be the cure for Yorkshire’s woes, but he’ll need to get through it alive first.
About David Peace: He was chosen as one of Granta’s 2003 Best Young British Novelists, and has received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, the German Crime Fiction Award, and the French Grand Prix de Roman Noir for Best Foreign Novel. The Red Riding Quartet has been adapted into a series of films by IFC Films, and an adaptation of his novel The Damed Utd was released in 2009. He lives in Yorkshire.
