‘He has written three books that everyone should read before they
die . . . Last Night is a deeply gratifying reminder of what
reading is for’ Independent
‘Breathtaking . . . Salter’s stories are masterpieces of poise and
clarity . . . Hugely enjoyable and endlessly stimulating’ Metro,

the voluptuous restraint of his style. What else can I say? I
highly recommend it’ Daily Telegraph

watchfulness and lucidity, but also by the understated way they
communicate the trickle effect of betrayal
