Description
SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE
A charismatic cult leader is dead. One by one his followers are being assassinated. Enter Gallio.
Gallio does counter-insurgency. But the theft of a body he’s supposed to be guarding ruins his career. Years later, the file is reopened when a second body appears. Gallio is called back by headquarters and ordered to track down everyone involved the first time round. The only problem is they keep dying, in ever more grotesque and violent ways. How can Gallio stay ahead of the game when the game keeps changing?
A Note From the Publisher
UK edition – available to read in UK, Commonwealth, Europe excluding Canada.
Marketing Plan
A stunning, original literary thriller - genre-bending and genre-expanding
A historical novel set in the present: so you have biblical-era events but also CCTV, air travel, mobile phones
The film Seven is a good comparison: that has seven deadly sins and sevens bodies; here it’s twelve disciples – twelve bodies.
Perfect for readers of Colm Toibin, Jim Crace, Julian Barnes, Margaret Atwood and Philip Pullman
