Anthony Fennell, a writer, has travelled to Cape Town to find and board the Georges Lecointe, a cable repair vessel. Fennell is quickly captivated by the ship's Chief of Mission, the mysterious, charismatic John Conway - and his beautiful partner, Zanele.

But as the boat embarks along the west coast of Africa, the mission falters - and Conway is thrown into crisis. When he disappears, Fennell must set out to find him. His investigation will bring him face-to-face with the darkest contradictions of the human heart - and force him to confront the possibility that the ties that bind us might be better off broken.

As taut and propulsive as a thriller, and a timeless exploration of narrative and truth, Twist is the work of a master storyteller at the height of his powers.

Colum McCann’s seven novels and three collections of short stories have been published in over forty languages and received some of the world’s most prestigious literary awards and honours, including the National Book Award for his novel Let the Great World Spin in 2009. His novel TransAtlantic was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2013, and his most recent novel, Apeirogon, also longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, is an international bestseller on four continents. colummccann.com
