Nineteen eighty-three

About “Nineteen eighty-three”

In Nineteen Eighty-Three, David Peace concludes his series of crime novels with a gripping story told through three narrators whose lives intersect. The novel explores themes of justice, revenge, and the decline of urban life. Maurice Jobson is a corrupt Yorkshire police officer whose actions have deeply affected the force. BJ is a street thug who no longer feels safe in the shadows. John Piggott is an honest lawyer investigating a long-unsolved murder, which could bring change to Yorkshire but at great personal risk. The story is a dark and intense look at the consequences of corruption and the struggle for truth.
