Read by Samuel West.
Graham Greene's classic gang war thriller. 'Hale knew, before he had been in
Brighton three hours, that they meant to murder him...' So begins "Brighton Rock",
in which a gang war rages through the dark underworld of 1930s Brighton. Seventeen-
year-old Pinkie Brown, malign and ruthless, has killed a man. Believing he can escape
retribution, he is unprepared for the courageous, life-embracing Ida Arnold. Greene's
gripping thriller exposes a world of loneliness and fear, of life lived on
the 'dangerous edge of things'. "Brighton Rock" has twice been adapted for film.
Richard Attenborough starred as Pinkie in the 1947 version, with Sam Riley and Helen
Mirren starring in the 2010 release.
