Shy er en ung mand med en lang straffeattest. Han er 16 år gammel og har sprøjtet, røget og sniffet alt mellem himmel og jord. Han har flere indbrud på samvittigheden, smadret en bil og smadret en flaske i hovedet på en dreng, han har stukket sin stedfar i hånden med en kniv, og han har skubbet sin ængstelige mor fra sig og vil ikke tale med hende. Shy er blevet sendt til skolen med navnet Sidste chance boarding school, en skole for drenge, der ikke kan være noget som helst andet sted. Han er der for endelig at få styr på sit liv, men da romanen åbner, er klokken tre om natten, og Shy er på vej ned til den nærliggende dam med rygsækken fuld af sten, så den kan holde ham under vandet, når han vader i.Shy er en hård og knusende smukt skrevet lyrisk roman om en ung mand, der ikke kan samle sine tanker, der ikke kan finde ud af at gøre det rigtige, selvom han gerne vil, der bare ikke kan opføre sig ordentligt, når hjernen flimrer og kroppen sitrer og mørket lukker sig omkring ham.MAX PORTER er en engelsk forfatter, der tidligere har modtaget The International Dylan Thomas Prize og The Sunday Times Award. Shy er hans fjerde roman, den gik direkte ind som nummer 1 på bestsellerlisten i hjemlandet England, da den udkom. Shy er ved at blive filmatiseret af og med Cillian Murphy til Netflix i 2025.

I started playing pool at a young age. The YMCA in our town was a huge room above the police station. It had two ping pong tables and two pool tables. I did not have any money. The free tables and the other games that were available, were a natural magnate. I spent a lot of time there. I spent so much time there I was voted the president of the HiYi club when I was in high school.

This is a story of a small-time detective who because he was curious, uncovered an unbelievable real estate fraud.

It was so disguised; that without his curiosity, the crime would have never been discovered.
