A pitch-black comedy set in London overshadowed by the looming threat of the Second World War, Hangover Square is a true classic.\n\nLondon, 1939, and in the grimy publands of Earl's Court, George Harvey Bone is pursuing a helpless infatuation. Netta is cool, contemptuous and hopelessly desirable to George. George is adrift in a drunken hell, except in his 'dead' moments, when something goes click in his head and he realises, without doubt, that he must kill her . . .\n\nIn the darkly comic Hangover Square Patrick Hamilton brilliantly evokes a seedy, fog-bound world of saloon bars, lodging houses and boozing philosophers, immortalising the slang and conversational tone of a whole generation and capturing the premonitions of doom that pervaded London life in the months before the war.\n\n'A masterly novel . . . you can almost smell the gin' Keith Waterhouse, Spectator
