S. was on a militant radical hunt, and so used a murder conviction as a speedy method of getting rid of two Italian radicals who had harmed...
...characters, that Author Bennett's genius is to be found. It is a genius shy of formality, making hash of what is conventionally expected of it in the way of dramatic climax, contributing richly at moments when reader and characters are least expectant. Who will may hunt for traces of Lloyd George and Lord Northcliffe in Andy Clyth and Sam Raingo but the wealth of this book lies in the subtle asides of the two fictitious figures and in the host of minor characters that surrounds them: Sam's dour man-of-all-work, Wrenkin; Andy...
