With great deftness and precision Hamilton exposes how his dupes' own naivete, snobbery or greed make them perfect targets. These three novels are shot through with the brooding menace and sense of bleak inevitability so characteristic of the author. There is also vivid satire and caustic humour. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGorse is thought to be based on the real-life murderer Neville Heath, hanged in 1946.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrick Hamilton was one of the most gifted and admired writers of his generation.
