Summary
A clerk in charge of the 'dead crimes' files discovers a menacing glitch in the system when an old crime resurfaces and haunts him with myths about his father and a war hero named 'Shuttlecock.' Reissue. 15,000 first printing. Movie tie-in.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Prentis, the narrator of this nightmarish novel, catalogs "dead crimes" for a branch of the London Police Department and suspects that he is going crazy. His files keep vanishing. His boss subjects him to cryptic taunts. His family despises him. And as Prentis desperately tries to hold on to the scraps of his sanity, he uncovers a conspiracy of blackmail and betrayal that extends from his department and into the buried past of his father, a war hero code-named "Shuttlecock"--and, lately, a resident of a hospital for the insane.
