Twelve years in the making, this is the highly anticipated second novel from Steven Hall, author of the acclaimed The Raw Shark Texts.

This autumn, life is catching up with struggling novelist Thomas Quinn.

Five years ago, his mentor, Andrew Black, wrote a mystery novel that sold a million copies-and then he disappeared. Could it be that Quinn is being stalked by the hero of Black's book? His wife, Imogen, usually has the answers, but she's working on the other side of the world and talking to her on webcam just isn't the same.

Quinn finds himself in a world that might well be coming apart at the seams. If he could find Black, he might be able to discover the truth.

Industry Reviews

'If Paul Auster and Haruki Murakami collaborated on Moby Dick crossed with The Wizard of Oz, they might produce something like Hall's deliriously ambitious debut, which mixes profound themes with playful plot twists...A narrative feat of hallucinatory imagination.'
* Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on The Raw Shark Texts *

'Clever, exciting, funny and moving.'
* Sunday Times on The Raw Shark Texts *

'A cult in the making.'
* Time Out on The Raw Shark Texts *

'A fast, sharp-toothed work of genius. This is Moby Dick meets Jorge Luis Borges by way of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. An instant classic.'
* Matt Haig on The Raw Shark Texts *
