PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS THE MURDERER - ROY HE...

'For me life hasn't got dreams  success and all that damn nonsense. Life is full of shadows:
some of them soft and others conceal a hammer.'Galton Flood is a lonely man  restless and ill
at ease with his family. He leaves his home in Guyana's capital  Georgetown  for a remote
township  and the first of a string of precarious jobs. Meeting Gemma  his landlord's daughter
appears to offer a first chance of meaningful connection - maybe even happiness. But there is a
darkness inside Galton  and soon jealousy and paranoia lead him to fatally  violently
unravel.With this haunting portrait of a mind undone  celebrated Guyanese writer Roy Heath
evocatively recreates the country of his youth: its rivers  townships and tenement yards  and
the tensions shimmering below the surface of a community.
