Blind Needle: Peter Holford is on the run, wary of both the police and a mysterious figure he believes is stalking him. He is also on the trail of the man he believes murdered his wife, and he is determined to get revenge. But it isn’t long before the hunter becomes the hunted, and Peter finds himself the prey of the brutal henchmen of his intended victim.
Down the Figure 7: he war may be over, but Britain is still struggling to surface from beneath the long shadow it left in its wake. While the inhabitants of one northern cotton town fight to emerge from years of rationing, life for the moment remains characterised by a ‘make-do-and mend’ attitude. On the wasteland between their houses, gangs of kids are still fighting the enemy, their young heroism fuelled by the exploits of Hollywood tough guys and the tales of dads and uncles who served in the forces. But it’s all just innocent fun—until the arrival of one boy’s uncle, an ex-Desert Rat who bring a piece of the war home with him.
Mirrorman: With just nine days left to live, death-row inmate Frank Kersh is made a very strange offer by a powerful cult called the Messengers: in return for his salvation and the fulfilment of his every desire, he must thwart any threat to the cult’s plans for world domination. With nothing left to lose, Kersh agrees, and soon finds himself elevated to a god-like position, and with more power than he could ever have imagined. His success would appear inevitable, were it not for one man. Cawdor. Unbeknown to him, his history is entangled with that of the Messengers, and over the generations he has unwittingly become their arch nemesis. To gain immortality, Kersh must destroy Cawdor, both in the past and present, but Cawdor proves a determined adversary. And he may just have found a way into Kersh’s realm—that frozen moment between life and death in which Kersh now exists.
Rule of Night: Sixteen-year-old Kenny Seddon is the miserable product of one such estate: a bleak, characterless place that epitomises Nordic frugality. Kenny stumbles through life, from one dead-end job to the next, only finding a release for his all-encompassing despair in the mindless violence in which he indulges. He hates everyone and everything: the Bury fans, the teenagers who roam the streets dressed as their Clockwork Orange anti-heroes, the Pakistanis he mugs for pennies. In Rule of Night Trevor Hoyle creates a chillingly detailed world, with the backdrop provided by Ford Cortinas, Players No.6, the factory and—above all—the relentless struggle to maintain hope. First published in 1975 and pre-dating the vogue for hard men and hooligan novels by twenty-five years, it has since become a cult classic.
Vail: Following a motorway accident in which both his wife and daughter are killed, Jack Vail, now alone in the world, finds himself in London—though it is not quite the city as we know it. While his home in the North of England was stricken with poverty and radiation poisoning, the capital is characterized by consumerism, media-obsession and moral corruption. Basic manufacturing no longer exists, but pornography, show business and money-marketing flourish. Vail is immediately drawn into this sinister world, yet throughout the novel he attempts to maintain a belief in a larger order of things. In such a society, however, it seems impossible to defy the chaos, and it isn’t long before Vail is engulfed by the ever-developing anarchy surrounding him. Through his nightmarish vision of the country in a not-too-distant future, award-winning author Trevor Hoyle vividly reflects the grim mood of 1980s Britain, the period in which this cult novel was originally published.
