The Whisper - Softcover

Bali Rai is from Leicester. As a Politics graduate, if he absolutely had to get a real job, he'd pick journalism. For now, he is happy to write, although he quite misses working behind a bar. However, this is more than made up for by the fact that he can now get out of bed when he likes and that nice people keep asking him to visit them in wonderful places all over Europe. Long may they continue to do so.

"Bali Rai's mixture of third and first-person narrative serves to heighten tension while the city scene depictions are sordid and threatening . . . a well paced thriller" -- Lesley Agnew * The Bookseller * "Exhilirating sequel to The Crew . . . unflinching and authentic" * Publishing News * "Expertly paced . . . the ending is tragic, but the energy and verbal brilliance evident on every page also convey hope . . . An author to watch out for" -- Nick Tucker * TES * "Rai holds his reader with a convincing, disturbing portrait of excluded people struggling for something better . . . a thought-provoking, eye-opening picture" * Irish Times * "A hard-hitting, totally convincing and yet strangely sympathetic tale of life on the streets of our cities today" * Carousel *
