The Book of Evidence

****MAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST • From the Booker Prize winner of* The Sea* comes **“an astonishing, disturbing little novel that might have been coughed up from hell ( *The New York Times Book Review)* about the dark confession of an improbable murderer. “Ireland’s finest contemporary novelist.” — *The Economist* ** Freddie Montgomery is a highly cultured man, a husband and father living the life of a dissolute exile on a Mediterranean island. When a debt comes due and his wife and child are held as collateral, he returns to Ireland to secure funds. That pursuit leads to murder. And here is his attempt to present evidence, not of his innocence, but of his life, of the events that lead to the murder he committed because he could. Like a hero out of Nabokov or Camus, Montgomery is a chillingly articulate, self-aware, and amoral being, whose humanity is painfully on display.
