by Iain Pears
An ingenious tour de force: an utterly compelling historical mystery with a plot that twists and turns and keeps the reader guessing until the very last page.
Summary and Book Reviews
The Killing Way: Summary and book reviews of The Killing Way by Tony Hays, plus links to an excerpt from The Killing Way and a biography of Tony Hays.
BOOK SUMMARY
The Killing Way is not the story of knights and chivalry one might expect in a novel about King Arthur's time. Hays focuses on the historical Arthur and his environs. He strips away the legends and myths surrounding the well-known hero of the romantic age, portraying instead a warrior and leader who may have existed around 500 CE. Indeed, the book is more historical fiction than mystery; one of its major strengths being Hays's ability to convey a realistic sense of time and place. The reader is transported to what amounts to a garrison town in medieval Britain; there are no fine castles in this story..... (Reviewed by Kim Kovacs).
