MOST LOVED. MOST RED. Ten must-read modern classics. ' Heaven was a word- hell was something he could trust. ' A gang war is raging through the dark underworld of Brighton. Seventeen-year-old Pinkie, malign and ruthless, has killed a man. Believing he can escape retribution, Pinkie is unprepared for the courageous, life-embracing Ida Arnold, who is determined to uncover him. Graham Greene' s chilling expose of violence, class, and gang warfare inspired many imitators. Few, if any, can match the originality of Brighton Rock, and of Pinkie - one of fiction' s most unnerving and compelling villains.

The most ingenious, inventive and exciting of our novelists. . . A master of storytelling * The Times * Graham Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature -- John le Carre A superb storyteller with a gift for provoking controversy * New York Times * I read Brighton Rock when I was about thirteen. One of the first lessons I took from it was that a serious novel could be an exciting novel - that the novel of adventure could also be the novel of ideas -- Ian McEwan
