Revenge: A Novel - Softcover

"[Fry] has once again proven that he is an entertainer of the very first rank." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"It's an old story...but Fry...has the wit and erudition to make it run like a well-made pocket watch. Be warned: the vengeance promised by the title has an unabashedly nasty flavor that's distinctly British and quite refreshing."--Newsweek

"In his first attempt at thriller writing, British actor-novelist Stephen Fry doesn't stumble at all....Revenge is sweet." --People

"A brisk thriller...smooth, clever, bittersweet, and dramatically entertaining." --The Seattle Times

Thanks to a prank by a jealous classmate, eighteen-year-old Ned Maddstone is mistakenly arrested and imprisoned in a top-secret gulag-style asylum where MI5 disposes of unwanted operatives.
