The Destroyers

‘The Destroyers is a smart, sophisticated literary thriller; for all its originality, it invokes the shades of Lawrence Durrell and Graham Greene’ – Jay McInerney, author of Bright, Precious Days
‘Equal parts Graham Greene, Patricia Highsmith and F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Destroyers is at once lyrical and suspenseful, thoughtful and riveting’ – Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You
‘Superb, a tightly woven and fast-moving narrative set in beautifully crafted prose. A read-all-night book’ – Alan Furst, author of The Foreign Correspondent
‘Possessed of cold-blooded electricity and a beguiling elegance … A propulsive, hypnotic portrait of rot at paradise’s heart and of the sprawling, inescapable tendrils of class and avarice’ – Sophie McManus, author of The Unfortunates
‘One for those who like their holiday books dark’ * Stylist *
‘Beautiful people visiting glamorous places, being wicked enough to bring Patricia Highsmith to mind. It just isn’t summer without this kind of globe-trotting glamour to read about, especially when most of it is set in the Aegean’ * New York Times *
‘The ideal summer page-turner’ * Vogue *
‘Bollen’s deliciously dark literary thriller, set in the jewel-bright sun-soaked Greek island of Patmos, is the perfect summer read’ * Big Issue *
