![]() The story of globalization is a centuries-old account of historical interconnections shaped by exploitation, despair and, at times, moral conscience and optimism. The drowning of innocence and the anarchic consequences of the global reach are hardly confined to Achebe’s Nigeria of yesteryear or to the colonial underbelly of Britain’s “civilizing” mission. To capture the tragedy of colonialism in that account, “Things Fall Apart,” Achebe looked to Yeats’s poem “The Second Coming” for inspiration: “Things fall apart the center cannot hold / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, / The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere / The ceremony of innocence is drowned / The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity.” ![]() ![]() Some 50 years ago, the region near Nigeria’s Atlantic coast provided the setting for Chinua Achebe’s haunting novel of a world torn asunder by the vicissitudes of Anglo-imperial expansion. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() boyfriend, husband, and zane are the prominent characters of this novel.

This third book follows that theme as two youngsters – apparently left home alone in the Christmas holidays – fall victim to a serious fire that soon transpires to have been started deliberately. So far, the main factor linking the cases and the characters’ background plots has been children, those directly affected by crime and those within the team’s families – including Fawley’s deceased son and the problems within his marriage resulting from the unexpected death of a much longed-for child. I’m also a great fan of the way different storytelling styles are brought together to move the plot forward, as well as chapters that either get right inside Fawley’s head or follow one or more of the others around at a slight remove, we also get extracts from online and print news sources and transcripts of interviews and video footage. Three books in, I’m already very fond of DI Adam Fawley and his team. ![]() Stevie‘s review of No Way Out (DI Fawley, Book 3) by Cara HunterĬontemporary Police Procedural published by Penguin 22 Mar 19 ![]() |
