Description

Brighton Rock, Graham Greene's iconic tale of the razor-wielding Pinkie, is gripping and terrifying - an unputdownable read. First published in 1938, it is a murder thriller set in 1930s Brighton; the author wrote the screenplay for the iconic 1947 film of the novel directed by John Boulting and starring Richard Attenborough as Pinkie.

Reviews

'I read Brighton Rock when I was about thirteen. One of the first lessons I took from it was that a serious novel could be an exciting novel - that the novel of adventure could also be the novel of ideas.' (Ian McEwan) 'Graham Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature.' (John Le Carre)
