Bad Catholics Zusammenfassung

Bad Catholics James Green

Jimmy Costello thought of himself as a good Catholic, a good father and a good copper - he wasn't. He was a corrupt and violent London CID Sergeant who, when his wife died suddenly of cancer, put a top villain in a wheelchair, got himself the quickest retirement on record and then disappeared. But where has he been for all these years, and why has he suddenly returned? Meet Jimmy Costello and find out how very easy it is to become one of Green's Bad Catholics.

Bad Catholics Bewertungen

'Skilfully rewinding between Jimmy's impoverished 1950s childhood, his teenage induction into gangsterism and his switch to becoming a detective, Green introduces a terrifying paradox of a character - a God-fearing man running both sides of the law for profit. An ultra-hardboiled debut.' THE GUARDIAN. 'Bad Catholics was a surprise - and a very pleasant one. This is a slim book that packs a very distinctive punch and delivers a memorable cast of characters. I really couldn't put this book down and simply had to see how things were going to end. Love him or hate him, I promise you that Jimmy Costello is a character that people will want to know and read more about.' CHRIS SIMMONS, CrimeSquad.com's Fresh Blood section. 'the debut of a writer of both narrative cunning and humane wisdom' THE TABLET. 'a cracking thriller' THE CATHOLIC HERALD

Über James Green

From Bible commentaries to the world's first and only collection of beer poetry, James Green has been writing full-time since 1997. After leaving school when he was 16, Green became a miner for about a year. It scared the living daylights out of him and he vowed to never again do anything so dangerous or dirty. He spent the next 30 years with his wife Pat raising their three children and being 'the most ordinary people in the world'. Green's life took a turn for the extraordinary when he quit teaching, moved to Northumberland, and took up writing 'to keep the wolf from the door'.
