Crime Wave: A Novel

John Stewart Wynne

4.9/5 (34083 ratings)

Description:Wynne’s first novel Crime Wave details the unexpected love affair between a photojournalist (Jake Adams) and a woman (Renee Cloverman) living in a Manhattan brothel. Jake attempts to make Renee respectable by moving her into the country with his aunt’s family where her presence turns out to be a risk not only for her but for them as well. It was praised by author Barbara Trapido in The Spectator as a “disturbing, well-written and impressive work whose genre is Manhattan lumpen Gothic...the book has a terrible and compelling beauty.” Author Jenny Uglow in The Times Literary Supplement wrote “Crime Wave is about personal and social sado-masochism. The author’s challenging aim is to show there is no such thing as ‘mindless violence’, whether directed towards the self or towards others. Each aggressive act is the result of a long cycle of action and reaction, continued through generations. Crime Wave is an ambitious first novel.” -- WikipediaWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
