Under Radar

3.2/5 ( ratings)

Michael Tolkin is a novelist, screenwriter, director, and former journalist. His novel The Player became a highly praised movie adaptation by Robert Altman. In addition to writing and directing The Rapture and The New Age, Tolkin is the author of the novel Among the Dead. This new novel, Under Radar, is an utterly absorbing and haunting portrayal of murder and redemption in a land of suffering, mystery, and magic. On vacation in Jamaica with his wife and two daughters, and haunted by his role in an insurance scam that made him wealthy, Tom Levy constructs a fantasy world around an alluring, hopelessly aloof married woman. His vacation comes to a shocking end when he murders the woman's husband. Imprisoned in Jamaica, his family in ruins, he hears a story so powerful it turns his hair white and sends him into shock. Years later, Tom must find a way to reenter the hearts and lives of his wife and grown daughters, this time in anonymity. As gripping as it is finely wrought with delicate layers of meaning, Under Radar presents a whole new level of narrative mastery from a talented and ambitious chronicler of our modern age.
