| The Horizontal Split :: Time Bomb Publishing :: Novel by Paul Pinn |
|
A kaleidoscopic thriller in which nothing is as it seems. Pursued
by numerous individuals with their own agendas, and navigating strange
and dangerous environments which mirror her own fractured personality,
young schizophrenic Sarah weaves a search for her stolen baby from
Europe to Asia, finally ending up in India. From the tricksters in
Delhi's claustrophobic markets to the nightmare spiral of Calcutta,
via the Ganges death rituals of Varanasi, Sarah attempts to stay one
step ahead of those on her trail who want her dead and buried.
"Awesome."
"Brilliant! I was there, and I'll tell you what; I wouldn't want
to get on the wrong side of Sarah!"
"Has more energy, invention, and heart than a hundred of the
doorstop-sized crap bloating the shelves of WH Smiths."
"Hot with local colour . . rancid with local smells . . . frenetic
pinball-machine action . . . effective writing and a nasty final
twist."
"Insane . . . ferocious . . . quite a read!"
"Pinn draws on his knowledge of psychiatry and experience of
India to tie this together in a tight manner. The characters are
well drawn and do not descend to stereotyping. A damn good read."
"Certainly worth the reader's time and energy." | |||||||
