Denial by Jon Raymond
3 stars
This can be read in a weekend. I found it compelling: Raymond's style is economic and unassuming. Set around the 2050s after globe-wide political ructions (referred to as the 'Upheavals') have lead to executives involved in fossil fuel production being held criminally liable for environmental damage.
We follow Jack an investigative journalist on a reconnaisance mission whose target is Cave, one such ex-executive, now a fugitive in Mexico. The ultimate aim is to capture a confrontation and send 'justice' raining down on his head. And that's what his novel is really about - what kind of justice is being served, and whether any is being served at all in the fullness of time. The book's title takes a double meaning.
I'd definitely read more by the author.
