A first novel. 50,000 first printing.

Review:

This is a remarkable novel, and puts Brodrick in the frame for prize-winning (John Dugdale, Sunday TIMES)

It is a wonderful book, it has a timeless quality and really should go on to become a classic. It reminds me of the early works of John le Carre, but captures much more accurately the internal workings of ordinary people, and shows how, just by bumping (Paul Britton, author of THE JIGSAW MAN)

The Sixth Lamentation is a meticulously-plotted, cat's cradle of a mystery with the interwoven stories pulled as taut as a piano-wire. The setting of Paris during the war is invoked to chilling effect. William Brodrick has written the first of what I hope will be a series of especially literate thrillers (Martha Grimes)

It's indeed rare to find such a masterful blending of sharp suspense and literary resonance as we see in THE SIXTH LAMENTATION. Brodrick has produced a truly compelling novel (Jeffery Deaver, author of THE VANISHED MAN and THE STONE MONKEY)
