About this Item

Derek Raymond, The Alison Press / Martin Secker and Warburg Ltd, Londo. Author: Derek RaymondBinding: HardbackPublished: The Alison Press / Martin Secker and Warburg Ltd, Londo, 1984Condition:Book: GoodJacket: Wear and tearPages: Tanning and foxingMarkings: No markingsThis seminal trilogy of British noir fiction by Derek Raymond inaugurates the Factory series with unflinching psychological intensity and moral ferocity. Set in a bleak, decaying London, each novel follows an unnamed detective from the Department of Unexplained Deaths as he investigates crimes the system prefers to ignore-murders of the poor, the forgotten, the damned. He Died With His Eyes Open presents a brutal case of a tortured man whose recorded confessions haunt the detective; The Devil's Home on Leave confronts a sadistic ex-soldier turned killer; and How the Dead Live uncovers a vanished woman's past in a rural town steeped in rot. Raymond strips away illusion, arguing that justice, if it exists, is personal and punishing. These novels redefine crime fiction as existential inquiry, written with corrosive lyricism and unwavering moral clarity. Seller Inventory # 2025100013134-SECONDHAND
