內容簡介
內容簡介 How far would you go for a friend?Edward is living in a world he can't afford and to which he doesn't belong. To camouflage himself, he has catered to his friends' needs: fetching drycleaning, sorting flowers for premieres. It's a noble effort, really - anything to keep his best pals Robert and Stanza happy. In return, his proximity to them might sponge the shame of his birth and violent past cleanly away.But the chink in his armour is his painfully unrequited love for Stanza. When he realises Stanza and Robert are an item, Edward is pushed too far. His little acts of kindness take a sinister turn, giving way to the unspeakable brutality Edward fears is at his core.Are there limits to what he will do for his friends? Are there limits to what he will do to them?
各界推薦
各界推薦 Magnificent. A major new talent. -- Rchard OsmanA deft, razor-sharp debut that effortlessly bestrides crime and comedy. Jonny Sweet is annoyingly talented. -- Erin KellyTom Ripley meets The Wych Elm in this creepy, acerbic, darkly funny thriller about loneliness, ambition and the lengths we go to to escape ourselves. Sweet is as interested in themes of love and revenge as he is in skewering the elite, in a novel whose dialogue is pin-sharp and whose pages ripple with tension. A hugely enjoyable and impressive debut. -- Emma StonexA subtle and gripping thriller for fans of The Secret History and talented The Talented Mr. Ripley' -- Claire McGowan
