Alison

Chris believed that Alison was the love of his life. He believed that Spike and Emma were his best friends. He trusted them. Turns out we all have our dark side…
Andrew Humphrey has been named "East Anglia's laureate of loss and alienation" and this first novel from the previously successful short-story writer builds on his fascination with dark desires, creating a compelling mystery that holds the reader in its grip as the disparate threads of a man's life unravel amid revelations and recriminations.
The setting is Norwich and East Anglia.

Praise for Alison:

"Absolutely gorgeous, and stunningly good… I wholeheartedly recommend you buy a copy" Christopher Teague

"Absolutely fantastic, top quality" Mat Coward

"A captivating story that won't let you go until you've discovered all there is to know about characters you came quickly to care about. And by then it'll be too late. Very, very good indeed" Neil Williamson

"My book of the year so far… Breathtaking" Mark West

"A heady dose of violence and off the wall sex…an entertaining and insightful study of dark psychology" Peter Tennant

"Psychological, relationship horror, super clean and nicely complex…it really is an all-nighter" Rick Kleffel

"One of the best crime novels I have ever read…bleak, intense, moving, heartbreaking stuff. The prose is lean and terse without losing any depth; the characters are vivid, each one on the verge of breaking. These people are so real they could live around the corner – but you'll be glad that they don't. This is a very fine novel indeed from one of the brightest literary talents the UK has seen in a long time" Gary McMahon
