A Man Lies Dreaming - Sometimes, it takes a mass murderer to catch a serial killer . . .

The Man in the High Castle for the 21st Century. ***Winner of the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered award*** Deep in the heart of history's most infamous concentration camp, a man lies dreaming. His name is Shomer, and before the war he was a pulp fiction author. Now, to escape the brutal reality of life in Auschwitz, Shomer spends his nights imagining another world - a world where a disgraced former dictator now known only as Wolf ekes out a miserable existence as a low-rent PI in London's grimiest streets. An extraordinary story of revenge and redemption, A Man Lies Dreaming is the unforgettable testament to the power of imagination. ************** Praise for Lavie Tidhar 'An emerging master' - Locus 'Young, ambitious, skilled and original' - Christopher Priest, author of The Prestige. 'A big, ambitious book that manages to deliver' - Glen Mehn 'An elegiac espionage adventure that demands a second reading' - Metro
