The Fountain in the Forest, Paperback / softback Book

The Fountain in the Forest Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

When a brutally murdered man is found hanging in a theatre, Detective Sergeant Rex King becomes obsessed with the case.

Who is this anonymous corpse, and why has he been ritually mutilated?

But as Rex explores the crime scene further, the mystery deepens, and he finds himself confronting his own secret history instead.

Who, more importantly, is Rex King? Shifting between Holborn Police Station, an abandoned village in rural 1980s France, and Stonehenge's Battle of the Beanfield, The Fountain in the Forest transforms the traditional crime narrative into something dizzyingly unique.

At once an avant-garde linguistic experiment, thrilling police procedural, philosophical meditation on liberty, and counter-culture bildungsroman, this is an iconoclastic novel of unparalleled ambition.
