Extractions: Christopher Brookmyre first hit the British bookshelves in the summer of 1996 with Quite Ugly One Morning , a satire on the then Conservative government's NHS reforms which introduced the world to journalist-cum-investigator Jack Parlabane. Quite Ugly contains quite graphic images of mutilation and violence, yet Brookmyre enables our hero Jack with such deadpan, amusing reactions that the novel remains entertaining. The book won the inaugural Critics' First Blood award for the best first crime novel of the year. Brookmyre's second novel, Country Of The Blind (1997), continues with Parlabane as he gets involved in the case of the murder of a media mogul, his wife and two bodyguards. Four burglars are suspected of the crime, alas, with the help of a young lady lawyer from London, Parlabane helps uncover a conspiracy to frame the innocent burgling crew. Not The End Of The World (1998), Brookmyre's third novel, is based in Santa Monica, California, a place where he successfully mixes televangelism with horror B-movies, and highlights a love story involving a pornographic actress (also the daughter of a prominent politician). The end of the millennium is the backdrop to this novel described by Peter Millar of

Extractions: Agony Column Home Agony Column Review Archive Date Reviewed:02-09-2002 Reviewed by: Rick Kleffel REFERENCES COLUMNS Mystery As the novel begins, English teacher Raymond Ash is wondering whether or not he's got all wrong. He's not ready for the responsibility of parenthood, and his small child is depriving himself and his wife of enough sleep so that they both feel they might be going mad. The classes of thugs he finds himself facing in his new job seem more than ready to take him and the entire staff on, and many better armed than the teachers, He takes refuge in on line gaming, since he's not doing so well in his Real Life TM role. Thus, when he sees his old school friend Simon, with whom he was in a band in college, he thinks he must be hallucinating, because he knows that Simon died in a plane crash a few years ago. In point of fact, the plane was brought down by a terrorist bomb, the one that Simon planted in order to erase his identity and start life anew as "the Black Spirit", the world's most feared terrorist for hire. Raymond's life rapidly gets worse than he could possibly imagine as it once again intersects with Simon's. In the telling, we get a boatload of prime Brookmyre rants, starting off with this gem about road rage:

Extractions: Agony Column Home Agony Column Review Archive Date Reviewed: 11-21-02 REFERENCES COLUMNS Mystery While Christopher Brookmyre's latest novel is titled 'The Sacred Art of Stealing', and with good reason, the opening passage and many to follow demonstrate that Brookmyre himself is a master of the profane art of ranting. Any readers left standing after the prose-as-a-machine-gun volley that begins the book are in for a treat. In his seventh novel, Brookmyre brings back Angelique De Xavia, the heroine of 'A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away' and presents her with a delicious romantic and criminal conundrum: What do you do when you're the cop and you fall for the robber? Remembering, of course, that in Brookmyre's skewed universe, to quote the character, "Just because I'm a bank robber doesn't mean that I'm the bad guy." The plot is a crackerjack magic box that unfolds with the precision of a mega-budget action thriller. Once the opening salvoes are fired, Brookmyre lays out a robbery-with-hostages situation that is both hilarious, touching and filled with electric-wire tension. And rants. Oh yes, the rants. With Brookmyre, most of the fun is in getting there. If the first paragraph doesn't have you calling up your friends to read it into their voicemail, then you can go directly to Angelique, who will deliver her take on romance shortly. Because, between all the misdirection, the magic, the clever-as-clever-one-could-possibly-hope-it-to-be staging of the robberies, the reversals and the police poltroons that De Xavia is forced to work with, 'The Sacred Art of Stealing' is a romance through and through.
