Join Te Herenga Waka University Press to launch the new book from acclaimed author Carl Shuker. Equal parts workplace comedy, home invasion thriller and literary conundrum, The Royal Free is an exuberant, dark, wildly entertaining novel about death and copy-editing.
James Ballard is a recently bereaved single father to a baby daughter, and a medical editor tasked with saving the Royal London Journal of Medicine. In the London outside of the office, the prognosis for the body politic is bad: civic unrest is poised on the brink of riots. Attempting to grieve for his wife, while haunted by a group of violent North London teenagers in a collapsing city, James is brought to crisis.
From the author of A Mistake, now a major motion picture directed by Christine Jeffs.
