Felony is about the misdemeanours inherent in writing; theft, false memory, plagarism and greed for celebrity. It demonstrates the embarrassment and shame suffered by those who steal from and exploit others in their quest, but who go on and do it all the same.

Review:

'An entertaining and super-subtle post-feminist rewriting of feminist rewritings.' -- Toby Litt, The Guardian

'Felony keeps you riveted with its rich taste for character and the mixture of comedy and pathos that surrounds them.' -- The Independent on Sunday

'It's a good idea, cleverly contrived and fluently written...it successfully creates an imaginative world that stays with you.' -- The Spectator

'Lovers of literary detective stories will find hours of entertainment in unpicking Felony's tangled weave of fact and invention...a triumph of ingenuity.' -- Jane Shilling, The Times

'Written in a clever, and often funny, pastiche of the Master's grand middle style, and they give a vivid picture of him as a character from one of his novels.' -- TLS

From the Publisher:

A delicious tale of literary theft.
