Glow cover

From the prizewinning author of BOXER, BEETLE and the Booker-longlisted THE TELEPORTATION ACCIDENT comes Ned Beauman's third and most thrilling novel to date.

'ADDICTIVELY GOOD' The Times
'Over-whelming' Independent
'Supercharged' Evening Standard
'Deliciously, startlingly, exuberantly fresh' Guardian

With GLOW, Ned Beauman has reinvented the international conspiracy thriller for a new generation.

A hostage exchange outside a police station in Pakistan.
A botched defection in an airport hotel in New Jersey.
A test of loyalty at an abandoned resort in the Burmese jungle.
A boy and a girl locking eyes at a rave in a South London laundrette . . .

For the first time, Britain's most exciting young novelist turns his attention to the present day, as a conspiracy with global repercussions converges on one small flat above a dentist's office in Camberwell.

Beauman's writing is dazzlingly inventive. - The Times

A singular and almost recklessly gifted, young writer. - Time

Seriously intelligent and seriously funny at the same time. - Daily Telegraph

Undoubtedly a writer of prodigious talent - Financial Times

Unhinged, over-whelming and brilliant ... Beauman has taste: his antennae are acutely tuned to the stylish and resonant. - Independent

A thoroughly enjoyable, playful read . . . The narrative hooks immediately, as does the language, which is often delightfully inventive. There are also surprisingly tender scenes that add depth and humour.

. . . Beauman has created a truly modern thriller that is as addictive as it is inventive. - The List

Beauman writes with panache. - Daily Mail

Sexy and urgent - Literary Review
