About this product

Product Information

In the aftermath of the great fire, eighteenth-century London is a city of extremes. Squalor and superstition vie with elegance and reason as brilliant architect, Nicholas Dyer, is commissioned to build seven new churches. They are to stand as beacons of the Enlightenment - but Dyer plans to conceal a dark secret at the heart of each one. Two hundred and fifty years later, in the same vast metropolis, a series of murders occur on the sites of those same churches. Detective Nicholas Hawksmoor investigates, but the gruesome crimes make no sense to the modern mind...Combining thriller, ghost story and metaphysical tract, Hawksmoor won the Whitbread Book Award and Guardian Fiction Prize in 1985.

    • Confusing read with vague plot

      Confusing read as it veers from auld English to modern day. Insufficient plot and vague characters - difficult to work out what is going on hence hard going. Def not a holiday read - more a topic for school exams.

    • Hawksmoor is a delight

      Very well written, thought-provoking novel. Pre-dates other Symbolism novels. Another of Peter Ackroyd's triumphs.
