このコンテンツについて
An outstanding piece of literary noir and the first in a PI series set in 1930s Birmingham.
An FT Best Summer Thriller 2023
BIRMINGHAM, 1933.
Private enquiry agent William Garrett facilitates divorces for the city's male elite. With the help of his best friend - charming, out-of-work actor Ronnie Edgerton - William sets up honey traps. But photographing unsuspecting women in flagrante plagues his conscience and William heaves up his guts with remorse after every job.
William's life changes when he meets the beautiful Clara Morton and falls in love. Little does he know she is the wife of a client - a leading fascist with a dangerous obsession. Soon, what should have been another straightforward job turns into something far more deadly.
Drenched in evocative period atmosphere and starring an unforgettable cast of characters, Needless Alley takes the reader from seedy canal-side pubs, to crumbling Warwickshire manor houses, and into the hidden spaces of Birmingham's Queer, bohemian society.

©2023 Natalie Marlow (P)2023 Hodder & Stoughton Limited批評家のレビュー
"Crafted with all the style and elegance of classic hardboiled fiction, lovingly splashed in the grubbiness and grime of interwar Birmingham's cuts, alleys and back streets. A smart, ripping yarn (with) some shocking and moving revelations." (Dominic Nolan, author of Vine Street)
"Deftly plotted, beautifully written, Needless Alley is a delicious slice of Chandleresque Midlands noir." (Mark Wightman, author of Waking the Tiger)
"Marlow beautifully distils 1930s Birmingham into a seamy world of moral corruption: anyone can fall and few are left clean. Gripping, confident and atmospheric." (Kate Mascarenhas, author of Hokey Pokey)
