The Ice Harvest, one of the most acclaimed noir debuts of 2000, is now followed by The Walkway - both its prequel and sequel. Sidney's stepfather, Gunther Fahnstiel, got lucky in The Ice Harvest. Lucky to the tune of 250,000 dollars in untraceable notes. Ten years later he's escaped from the Lake Vista nursing home; confused, frail and desperate for a haircut. Sidney has prospered since his days running the bar at the Sweet Cage; he's now the owner, in fact, and strip clubs are big business. So a 12,000 dollar reward is posted for Gunther's safe return. The only problem is Gunther's just run into the daughter of an old flame and memories of dark deeds from decades before begin to surface...
This is the combined prequel and sequel to Phillips' debut The Ice Harvest, but it won't matter if you haven't read it. Complete in its own right, The Walkaway is a twisted, twisting piece of work that constantly flicks the reader backwards and forwards from the dark side of post-war America, where Gunther Fahnstiel was a younger man, to the modern day where his memory's shot and he's just escaped from a nursing home - as easily as flipping pancakes. The feeling of time and place is immaculate, almost as if different people have written each of the two interlocking noir stories of money, greed and living in the grey world between what's legal and what's not - and Gunther's on the lam, looking for money he's already spent...
Scott Phillips spent much of his twenties reading Picador books in Paris, where he also worked as a teacher and translator. He now lives in Southern California with his wife and young daughter. The Walkaway is his second novel..
