Three Burials

A heady mixture of murder mystery, black comedy, and an introspection on what makes us human. As an added bonus, the whole amazing story is built on an expert analysis of the state of the British economy and society

Anders Lustgarten is one of the important political writers of his generation

Dennis Kelly, author of 'DNA' and 'Utopia'

A fierce writer whose activism blends intellectual curiosity and idealism

Evening Standard

Three Burials is a romp of a novel. It tackles subjects like police violence and irregular migration without proselytising, painting a vivid picture of how the myriad ways we love one another counteract interpersonal and state violence

Gracie Mae Bradley, author of 'Against Borders'

Three Burials is a powerful rollercoaster of a debut, careering through the good, the bad and the ugly of our times, but with heart and with humour

David Peace, author of 'Red or Dead'

[Three Burials] is both a cinematic car-chase caper and a blistering critique of the response to the refugee crisis and capitalist exploitation in broken Britain

The Bookseller (Editor’s Choice)

Three Burials is both a madcap crime caper and a savage state-of-the-nation novel. Anders Lustgarten writes like a man possessed: bursting with energy and spitting bile at the "vicious fraudulent kleptocracy" Britain has become. That it is also very funny and deeply moving makes this debut all the more extraordinary

The Times

[Three Burials] combines political astuteness with tonal exuberance, morbid humour, situational irony and moral passion. The outcome is an irreverent, tragicomic tour de force as absurd and as urgent as hope . . . Brave and provocative, goofy, flippant, farcical, droll and deadly earnest, Lustgarten’s novel is comedy as weapon and deep moral inquiry
