Afraid to Death
By the author of Eye Of The Beholder, now a No. 1 U.S. Box Office Hit Film
Joe Egan is a decent man. He spends his life boarding aeroplanes and buses, winning and losing at poker, abandoning women he is in love with. In fact, he lives like a madman - or a man in fear of his life. Of course there is that blonde woman who has been following him around for years….
Afraid to Death is a literary Siamese twin to Marc Behm's legendary Eye Of The Beholder
Praise for Eye of the Beholder
'Eye of the Beholder is a strange, amazing, wonderful novel. Buy this book!' Independent on Sunday
'Part epic road movie, part thriller, part love story, with more atmosphere and attitude than you can shake a .45 at' Daily Mirror
'A strange book, wild, puzzling, at times more road novel than crime fiction. A classic' Time Out
'One of the punchiest, bleakest, weirdest hard-boiled crime novels I've ever come across, and one of the most original… a private-eye novel to end private-eye novels' Los Angeles Herald Examiner
