"William Heaney is a fraud. A charming fraud, but a fraud nevertheless. He writes poetry so that a more attractive friend can pass it off as his own, he produces fake Jane Austen first editions so that he can fleece foolish and greedy book collectors. He can see demons. He drinks rather too much wine." "This is his story. The story of a man who is living with regret. The story of a man who is prey to his own demon and who can see the demons of others: shadowy indistinct figures waiting, hunched, at people's shoulders. Waiting for a mistake, for a moment of weakness." "And meanwhile William is waiting. Waiting without knowing he is waiting. Waiting for love. But until then, perhaps just one more drink..."--BOOK JACKET.

Industry Reviews

"Moody, poetic, sometimes angry, this is a beautifully written portrait of guilt, forgiveness, and the people who fall between the cracks. Intelligent and well crafted." -- Saxon Bullock SFX "This is an intriguing novel, and great fun." THE TIMES "Memoirs of a Master Forger is a morality tale about the angels of redemption and demons of suffering that inhabit a London whose contours were mapped more than two centuries ago by William Blake. Like Blake Heaney's London is a phantasmagoria of feigning and reality located along the embankments of the Thames and in its historic pubs. The tone is world-weary, cynical, compassionate, wry, always superficial." -- Kathryn Sutherland TLS "The novel is an ultimately unplifting feat of storytelling which grips the reader to the very last page. A sophisticated horror-fantasy." -- Eric Brown THE GUARDIAN "Warm, exuberant and very funny, full of both justified anger and determined optimism." -- Mat Coward MORNING STAR "He's engaging company is Heaney: amusing, urbane, perhaps verging on the pub bore. I had fun with Master forger." -- Paul Marland DEATHRAY
