«1983» is the crime novel by David Peace, published by Rivages in paperback, with 488 pages, in French.
In May 1983, Hazel Atkins disappears in Morley, where Clare Kemplay went missing in 1974. The police avoid linking the cases, and other disappearances surface. A lawyer prepares the appeal of a convicted man, a superintendent recalls police corruption, and an informant is caught between corrupt police and criminals; their paths converge.
Fourth and final volume of David Peace's Red Riding quartet, originally published as Nineteen Eighty Three in 2002; this French edition is translated by Daniel Lemoine.
For readers of crime fiction and historical thriller, especially those who have already read the previous volumes of the Red Riding quartet.
David Peace is an English writer. Best known for his UK-set novels Red Riding Quartet (1999–2002), GB84 (2004), The Damned Utd (2006), and Red or Dead (2013), Peace was named one of the Best of Young British Novelists by Granta in their 2003 list. His books often deal with themes of mental breakdown or derangement in the face of extreme circumstances. In an interview with David Mitchell, he stated: "I was drawn to writing about individuals and societies in moments that are often extreme, and often at times of defeat, be they personal or broader, or both. I believe that in such moments, during such times, in how we react and how we live, we learn who we truly are, for better or worse."
