ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Marc Behm has had a successful career as a film scriptwriter (his credits include Charade and Help) and as an author. He is in his seventies and lives in France. His other novels include the classic The Eye of the Beholder which is a literary siamese twin to Afraid to Death and which No Exit also publishes.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Joe Egan is a decent man, yet he seems fearful. He spends his life boarding aeroplanes and buses, winning and losing at poker, abandoning women he is in love with. In fact, he lives like a madman - or a man who is simply terror-stricken. Of course there is that blonde woman who has been following him around for years...
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Afraid To Death is included in the London Guardian's round up of the year's best books:
The Guardian Online
"The Eye of the Beholder is a strange, amazing, wonderful novel. Buy this book!"- Independent on Sunday
"The new edition of this classic is guaranteed to make a huge impact this time around" - Stuff for Men
"A quest for grace. A stone classic noir" - Crime Time
"Part epic road movie, part thriller, part love story, with more atmosphere and attitude than you can shake a .45 at" - Daily Mirror
"A strange book, wild, puzzling, at times more road novel than crime fiction. A classic." - Time Out
