A kaleidoscope of dread and dark absurdity, Nightmare in Colour by Russell H. Greenan plunges readers into a world where reality fractures at the seams, blending crime, psychological menace, and black comedy into a singular, unsettling vision. Following in the tradition of his acclaimed debut It Happened in Boston?, Greenan constructs a narrative where the ordinary world is perpetually on the verge of collapse, populated by characters whose grip on sanity is as tenuous as the logic of their circumstances. Greenan's prose is marked by a distinctly American wit filtered through a sensibility that owes as much to surrealism as it does to the hard-boiled tradition, earning him comparisons to both Patricia Highsmith and Joseph Heller. Published by the prestigious London imprint Michael Joseph, Nightmare in Colour cements his reputation as a master of the macabre and the mordantly comic — a writer whose work rewards those willing to surrender to its gloriously deranged logic. For readers who believe they have seen everything the crime genre has to offer, Greenan stands ready to prove them magnificently wrong.
