Title: Pale Horse Riding
Author: Chris Petit
Narrator: Saskia Reeves
Format: Unabridged
Length: 12 hrs and 14 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-21-17
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio UK
Genres: Fiction, Contemporary
Publisher's Summary:
From the author of the highly acclaimed The Butchers of Berlin comes a devastating, haunting and brilliant follow up....
By 1943 Auschwitz is the biggest black market in Europe. The garrison has grown epically corrupt on the back of the transportations and goods confiscated, and this is considered even more of a secret than the one surrounding the mass extermination.
Everything is done to resist penetration until August Schlegel and SS officer Morgen, after solving the case of the butchers of Berlin, are sent in disguised as post office officials to investigate an instance of stolen gold being sent through the mail. Their chances of getting out of Auschwitz alive are almost nil, unless Schlegel and Morgen accept that the nature of the beast they are fighting means they too must become as corrupt as the corruption they are desperate to expose.
Even if they survive, will it be at the cost of losing their souls?
Critic Reviews:
"One of Britain's most visionary writers." (David Peace)

PETIT'S PALE PRODUCTION PROVOKES A POWERFUL TRUTH
Chris Petit's masterly new novel enhances his standing as one of the greatest modern writers of historically themed fiction. He draws eerie relevances with the present by reminding us of the horrors lurking behind every human heart and this story of the conspiracies and murders behind the existent genocide of the holocaust is a revelation. Petit is the great poet of detachment, able to combine heart-stopping gore with the rattling shake of the driest belly laugh and as he pans across the ruined landscape of the fascistic motivation that epitomised the time period, his avenging eye scrutinises every pore and fills every absence with the appropriate ghost. In reading the book we become a kind of pale rider ourselves, observing events as they unfold and making connections between the calamitous past and our own damaged present, thanks to the visceral prose style and its refined atmospherics. The barbarities, dichotomies and suspicions that Petit details structure the path of our own understanding as we journey through. In all of his thrillers from Picador Classic, The Psalm Killer to his last book, The Butchers of Berlin, Petit raises those killed to a fiery new prominence while irising in on the killers responsible with degrees of skill and attention untouched by other less worthy crime/thriller/noir writers. His continuing powers therefore make this book essential. A gaseous and ash smelling bible whose pages shine harshly, seeking new followers. As we gather in the darkness of tone, story and subject a new cinema of the word sits within the book as the written images stun us. Chris Petit exposes the dark poetics behind all human (and inhuman) behaviour, along with sharp thoughts and focus as words and bones pierce the night.
