About the book
For fans of Matt Haig, Anthony Horowitz, and David Mitchell, a 'strange, compelling' (John Connolly) genre-bending literary thriller that blends mystery, philosophy, and time-bending suspense in a story of love, loss, and second chances.
The Other Side of Night begins with a man named David Asha writing about his biggest regret: his sudden separation from his son, Elliot. In his grief, David tells a story.
Next, we step into the life of Harriet Kealty, a police officer trying to clear her name after a lapse of judgment. She discovers a curious inscription in a secondhand book - a plea: Help me, he's trying to kill me. Who wrote this note? Who is 'he'?
This note leads Harri to David Asha, who was last seen stepping off a cliff. Police suspect he couldn't cope after his wife's sudden death. Still, why would this man jump and leave behind his young son? Quickly, Harri's attention zeroes in on a person she knows all too well.
Ben Elmys: once the love of her life. A surrogate father to Elliot Asha and trusted friend to the Ashas.
Ben may also be a murderer.
Compulsively readable and thought-provoking, 'The Other Side of Night is one of those rare books that you'll still be thinking about long after the last page' (Jenny Blackhurst, author of How I Lost You).
Praise for The Other Side of Night
The Other Side of Night is like no crime novel I've ever read. The pages almost turn themselves and when I was finished I couldn't stop thinking about the story's incredible twists, turns, and surprises.
A brilliant, meta thriller with huge ideas and an even greater heart.
Remarkable. Adam Hamdy may have created a completely new crime genre.
Wow! It takes a special kind of writer to pull off a story like this. Adam Hamdy's brave, intriguing, thought-provoking book will leave readers breathless.
A strange, compelling, and ultimately moving head-spinner of a novel.
Mind-bending! This intriguing and thought-provoking thriller is a profound exploration of how far some are willing to go in the name of love. A fantastic twist you'll never see coming.
A genre-bending page-turner-existential, emotional, and packing a twisty, gut-punch of an ending.
A big-hearted, big-brain novel that you'll finish in three days and think about for the rest of the year. Wonderful.
This carefully constructed tense yarn is full of doubts, beautiful passages and as many twists as a mountain road.
The Other Side of Night is a surprising and cleverly constructed rollercoaster read.
Intelligently plotted and powerfully told, Hamdy’s deviously twisty tale of fate and coincidence, love and courage, and profoundly tough choices will shock, stir, and haunt readers long after the final page. Hamdy has upped his game with this one.
An intriguing, fascinating, maddening tale from Adam Hamdy... . . If many thrillers suffer from a tendency to hurtle toward inevitable conclusions, this book is just the opposite-completely unpredictable.
