Part Four of the critically acclaimed Red Riding series
Now a Netflix series that is 'better than The Godfather' (Telegraph) - featuring a star-studded cast including Andrew Garfield, Sean Bean, Paddy Considine and Rebecca Hall
1983's three intertwining storylines see the Quartet's central themes of corruption and the perversion of justice come to a head as BJ, the rent boy from Nineteen Seventy Four, the lawyer Big John Piggott - who's as near as you get to a hero in Peace's world - and Maurice Jobson, the senior cop whose career of corruption and brutality has set all this in motion, find themselves on a collision course that can only end in a terrible vengeance.
1983 is an epic tale which concluded an extraordinary body of work confirming Peace as the most innovative and remarkable new British crime writer to have emerged for years.
