Shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award 2007.
Costa Book Awards 2007 Judges' comment: "A cunningly narrated story in a totally original milieu. A tale of the unexpected."
Extremely detailed piece of writing that follows a lonely middle-aged man through a disturbing obsession. He is a cutter in the 60’s fur trade, a fascinating backdrop to a menacing tale of lust, with a surprising conclusion.
Comparison: Alan Hollinghurst, Jake Arnott, Patrick Gale.
At 47, Mr. F’s working life on London’s Skin Lane is one governed by calm, precision and routine. So when he starts to have frightening, recurring nightmares, he does his best to ignore them. The images that appear in his dream are disturbing – Mr. F can't for the life of him think where they have come from. After all, he's a perfectly ordinary middle-aged man.
