Noise of Strangers

Bag om Noise of Strangers

An Orwellian dystopia in the guise of a fast-paced thriller, this is a coolly satirical novel laced with humour, suspense and intrigue. Welcome to Brighton, a city ruled by a combination of patronage and armed force. After years of civil conflict, gated communities separate government workers from the Scoomers cruising the streets in their battered Fiats. But in a secure area four couples from the town¿s elite keep up a tenuous version of middle class life. They attend each others¿ dinner parties and drink and gossip. And then, driving home from a party, Jack and Denise witness a fatal car crash involving one of the Councillors. As the inevitable by-election approaches, they and the people they know are increasingly enmeshed in the town¿s political manoeuvring and the violence of the streets outside begins to touch even their lives. Robert Dickinson is also the author of The Schism.
