'The Lemur has pace and bravado; the writing is sharp and the timing flawless while the prose, naturally, is brilliantâ â Time Out
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea, John Banville writes as Benjamin Black in The Lemur: a compulsive, emotional thriller set amongst the peak of New York's business elite.
William âBig Billâ Mulholland is an Irish-American electronics billionaire. An ex-CIA operative, he now heads up the Mulholland Trust, with the help of his daughter Louise. When Mulholland gets wind of a hostile biography planned by journalist Wilson Cleaver, he commissions his daughterâs husband, John Glass, to pen the official line. But neither he nor Glass had reckoned on the sinister services of âthe Lemurâ.
It turns out that silence cannot be bought â even by one of New Yorkâs wealthiest dynasties . . .
Originally comissioned as a high-profile serial by New York Times Magazine, this is a stylish thriller from a master of literary crime
âThe Lemur lives up to expectations. The writing is lighter and sleeker than his literary fiction but without any loss of his ability to perfectly describe situations and sensations. Engrossing readingâ â Irish Mail on Sunday
âThe Lemur displays an emotional poignancy that is present in both of Blackâs previous worksâ â Independent on Sunday
âWhat stands out is Blackâs portrayal of contemporary New York, its towers of steel and glass providing a glossy background for a tale in which no one is trusted. Itâs an edgy read, worthy of Don DeLilloâ â Evening Standard
