Description

A memory loss mystery set in wartime New York Who stole George Matthews' life? 'Doctor, I think I'm losing my mind...'. When a wealthy young man turns up at respected psychiatrist Dr George Matthews' office uttering these words, it changes his safe existence forever. Suddenly Matthews finds himself dragged into a strange, surreal world where nothing is certain. And when an actress is found murdered, a horse tied up outside her apartment, Matthews loses his memory - and must find it in a nightmarish urban jungle of mistaken identities, secrets and insanity. With its unique atmosphere of threat, secrets and madness, The Deadly Percheron is a great New York noir novel. The extraordinary climax - in an abandoned Coney Island Fun House - has to be read to be believed.

Author Biography:

John Franklin Bardin in a frenzy of activity from 1946-8 wrote back-to-back the three novels - The Deadly Percheron, The Last of Philip Banter and Devil Take the Blue-Tail Fly - that would ensure his cult reputation.
