A gripping, suspenseful, and compulsively readable novel from the author Jonathan Yardley calls "one of the most gifted writers of his generation." "There is no life without a double life. And yet one grows weary . . ." Recently promoted to the position of Crown Court judge-jealous colleagues suggest it might be because he is black-Daniel Savage decides at midlife that it's finally time to settle down, foreswear philandering, and rededicate himself to his family. His career demands the most responsible behavior-he must be above suspicion. But Savage has been leading a double life for far too long, and a young woman from his past-who holds a secret that could ruin his career and marriage-begins making mysterious calls to his house. As tangled lies are solemnly ironed out in his court, Judge Savage finds his own existence suddenly descending into a mess of violence and confusion, and attempts desperately to get a grip on his world in the face of increasingly certain disaster.

Review:
"A book for our times... A moving, important novel" (Irish Independent)

"The world that Parks evokes is densely textured, a patchwork or memories, desires and declarations that brilliantly captures the complexity of consciousness" (Sunday Times)

"A dashing mixture of thriller, social comedy and dysfunctional family saga... A virtuoso piece, a tour de force, highly enjoyable" (Spectator)

"A grimly affecting novel of adultery and family disintegration... A brilliant, even contentious, novel of bleak humour and undeniable power" (Evening Standard)

"Parks is a master of emotional complexity" (Sunday Telegraph)
Book Description:
'Judge Savage is a work of tremendous learning and subtlety' - Observer
