Despite their different backgrounds Charlie and his dodgy schemes reappear in Eck's life with surprising regularity. And when, with almost no warning, Eck's world is turned upside down he has to ask himself, between he and Charlie, who has the most to lose?'Charlie is a wonderful creation, at once sad and heroic, whose search for redemption attains real pthos at the end of this affecting, skilfully crafted novel' FINANCIAL TIMES von Torday, Paul
