1. 1. 1977

   

   Set amid the grime and unrest of 1970s Yorkshire, the novel follows an obsessed investigator whose pursuit of a brutal killer peels back layers of institutional rot — police corruption, political maneuvering, tabloid hysteria and the simmering violence of working-class life. Told in a repetitive, urgent prose that mirrors the protagonist’s unraveling, it interweaves procedural detail, internal monologue and social observation to show how truth is distorted, justice is delayed and ordinary people are crushed by a landscape of fear and moral collapse.
