New York: Horizon Press, (1958) dj. Hardcover first edition - The final book in his five novel sequence, The Furys, considered some of his finest work - In the previous novel, young Peter Fury, confused by his mother's ambition for him, was driven to commit a crime for which he was sent to prison for fifteen years. This story opens with his release, still a relatively young man, and as Peter gropes his way back to normal life, taking refuge in the girlhood home of his brother's wife, the extraordinary circumstances of his past are revealed and we observe his coming to terms with the future. Anthony Burgess wrote this about Hanley and his work: "The geniuses who are neglected are usually the geniuses who disturb, and we do not like to be disturbed. The Times obituary accurately referred to 'the integrity and disturbingly acute though gloomy vision of his best books' and prophesised that they 'will certainly be remembered in the chronicle of the century's literature'. Chronicled, then, though not read." 315 pp.
