«Hawthorn and Child» is the mystery and suspense novel by Keith Ridgway, published by Granta Publications in paperback, in English.
The police pair Hawthorn and Child investigate a strange shooting in north London: the only witness is unreliable and the victim insists the shot came from a ghost car. As Hawthorn sinks into exhaustion and dreams, the narrative jumps to other Londoners —a pickpocket, an editor with a disturbing manuscript, a teenager who frequents Tate Modern— and to the figure of the elusive criminal Mishazzo.
The work was originally published in 2012 and this paperback edition dates from 2013. It was longlisted for the Green Carnation Prize.
For readers of literary fiction and crime novels who appreciate fragmented plots and characters who cross paths in contemporary London.
Keith Ridgway is an Irish novelist and short story writer. He has won the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the Prix Femina Etranger, the Prix du Premier Roman Etranger, the O. Henry Award, and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
