The first time I met Harold Challenor, he frisked me for weapons - I was ten years old. Bent is the explosive story of the rise and fall of SAS commando, and notorious Detective Sergeant, Harold ' Tanky' Challenor. During the Second World War, Challenor was parachuted behind enemy lines into Italy and France, performing remarkable feats of bravery. In the grimy underbelly of 1960s Soho, he was a ferocious and controversial presence, mediating between factions of club owners and racketeers, and cultivating informers. But just how far will he go to break the protection gang that has a grip on his manor? It can be a fine line that divides hero and villain. A virtuoso novel, Bent is socially conscious, thematically bold, and stylistically daring. ' Vivid, stylish and funny. ' - Mick Herron ' Utterly brilliant. . . I felt like I was there' Cathi Unsworth
' Vivid and visceral' -- Mark Sanderson * The Times * ' Original' -- John Williams * Mail on Sunday * ' Sparse, energetic, fragmented prose' -- Jeff Noon * The Spectator * ' Brilliant' -- Jake Arnott ' Wildly stylish and hugely entertaining' -- Lucy Caldwell ' Vivid, stylish, funny' -- Mick Herron ' Snappy, thoughtful, moving' -- John King ' Utterly brilliant' -- Cathi Unsworth ' Had James Ellroy and David Peace collaborated on a novel, they' d have written something like this' -- Paul Willetts
