Críticas

"If The Doll Princess was a startlingly original reimagining of noir, then Benn has upped his own game. Chamber Music takes all the genre's most potent elements and makes them new and vital again." -- Cathi Unsworth Guardian "It's so good, I almost forgot to breathe." -- Tom Adair Scotsman "Superb...The result is a kind of Guy Ritchie-esque gangster comedy with infinitely more depth." -- Jake Kerridge Daily Telegraph "A startlingly new, ridiculously stylish, home-grown voice" -- Henry Sutton Daily Mirror "One of the most exciting young British novelists working in any genre."

Reseña del editor

It’s Manchester, 1998, and the funeral party for Henry Bane's father is interrupted by a woman from Bane’s past. Róisín is back in his life after an eight-year absence, inconvenient for Jan, his latest flame. Róisín has brought a wounded boyfriend with her – and a lot more trouble is following them up north.

Meanwhile, a Yardie who goes by the name of ‘Hagfish’ wants to take over the local ganglords’ territory with Mary, his terrifying weapon of choice. It’s Hagfish against Bane in a new turf war: a war that will claim lives and cement vendettas. It's a conflict steeped in half-forgotten history: a history that Bane and Róisín are forever tied to – and which ties them together.
