Description

Flip Lochner is a weary and disillusioned newspaper crime reporter. Curious to find out more about the origins of a casual acquaintance, he descends into Devil's Valley where, like Dante's Virgil, he encounters a bewildering array of mysterious characters and events that lead him to reevaluate the world in which he lives and which he thought he knew. Fusing invention and reality, magic realism and earthy humour, Lochner's adventures in the valley centre around the journey he undertakes to discover the truth about the elusive and erotic figure of Emma, one of Brink's most remarkable creations.

Freshly, vividly and differently imagined as anything in his work to date -- John Higgins * Guardian *
A moving, angry, exuberant journey into some of mankind's darkest dreams and the redemptive power of his most resilient hope -- A.L.Kennedy * Scotsman *
