David Peace Libri

Una storia livida e feroce ispirata ai delitti commessi fra gli anni Settanta e Ottanta dallo "squartatore dello Yorkshire". Nell'inverno del 1980 il serial killer uccise la sua tredicesima vittima. Nel romanzo, il vicecapo della polizia Hunter si batte con ogni mezzo per porre fine a questa catena di omicidi infernali, ma viene trascinato in un gorgo di crudeltà, corruzione e squallore. Dopo l'incendio della sua casa, le minacce alla moglie e il voltafaccia dei colleghi, la sua ricerca diventa una questione personale di vita o di morte. Un thriller rabbioso e disturbante imperniato sulla battaglia tra due uomini disperati, entrambi determinati a distruggere l'altro.

The third novel in David Peace's acclaimed Red Riding Quartet sees Yorkshire terrorised by the Ripper while the corrupt police familiar from Nineteen Seventy Four and Nineteen Seventy Seven continue to prosper. Weaving his own extraordinary fiction around the terrible history of the time, David Peace has once again produced a thriller that goes above and beyond the limits of the genre to provide a powerful portrait of a time and a place gone very wrong.

The Damned United is directed by Tom Hooper (John Adams, Longford, Elizabeth I), and adapted for the screen by Peter Morgan (The Queen, The Last King of Scotland, Frost/Nixon) from the bestselling and critically acclaimed novel by David Peace, The Damned United stars Michael Sheen (The Deal, The Queen, Frost/Nixon) as the legendary, opinionated football manager Brian Clough with Timothy Spall (Secrets and Lies, Sweeney Todd, The Last Samurai) as his right-hand man, only friend, and crutch Peter Taylor. Overachieving and eccentric football manager Brian Clough was on his way to take over at the country's most successful, and most reviled football club: Leeds United, home to a generation of fiercely competitive but ageing players. The battle he'd face there would make or break the club - or him. David Peace's extraordinarily inventive novel tells the story of a world characterised by fear of failure and hunger for success set in the bleak heart of the 1970s.

Nineteen Eighty Three's three intertwining storylines see the Quartet's central themes of corruption and the perversion of justice come to a head as BJ, the rent boy from Nineteen Seventy Four, the lawyer Big John Piggott - who's as near as you get to a hero in Peace's world - and Maurice Jobson, the senior cop whose career of corruption and brutality has set all this in motion, find themselves on a collision course that can only end in a terrible vengeance.Nineteen Eighty Three is an epic tale which concluded an extraordinary body of work confirming Peace as the most innovative and remarkable new British crime writer to have emerged for years.

An intense journey into a secret history of sexual obsession and greed.

Continuing the narrative begun with Nineteen Seventy-Four and Nineteen Seventy-Seven, this electrifying third installment of David Peace’s Red Riding Quartet demonstrates a skill that goes above and beyond the limits of the genre. While Yorkshire is terrorized by the Ripper, the corrupt police continue to prosper. To give the case some new life, Peter Hunter, a “clean” cop from nearby Manchester, is brought in to offer a fresh perspective. As he goes about setting up a new case under the radar, he suffers the same fate as those who previously attempted to get in the way of the Ripper: his house is burned down, his wife threatened. But he soldiers on. And as he comes face to face with unthinkable evil, Hunter struggles to maintain his reputation, his sanity, and his life.
