Author:Duncan McLean
It is the North-west coast of Scotland and there's a stranger in town - a shambling silent hulk of a man, face hooded even at the height of summer. He hangs around school playgrounds, laughing; leers through bedroom windows; camps out in a filthy old concrete pillbox. Meanwhile, Rob and Karen, newly married, settle into their new life together. Rob has been taken on as a janitor in the local school and begins to hear about the hooded man. Unpleasant things begin to happen. Unspeakable things. It is time for a showdown. It is time to find the Bunker Man.
Another massive blow against the supremacy of literary London. . . . What really gives the book its charge is its powerful sense of menace.
—— Tibor Fischer[A] stunning, breathless conclusion to the Underworld USA trilogy ... There is no equivalent in contemporary fiction
—— Uncut[A] jaw-dropping stand-along work of uncompromising power and authenticity, and the trilogy as a whole is one of the landmarks of American fiction of the last 20 years
—— The HeraldThe classiest act around. Read it and weep - for its utter darkness and yet its stunning sweep and grace
—— Daily MailThe premise is intriguing... The themes are topical
—— Independent on SundayThe Beck books were greatly admired, but Wahlöö’s two novels featuring Chief Inspector Jensen are more intellectually intriguing
—— Christopher Fowler , Independent on Sunday
