In The Light of Day (2003), Graham Swift deconstructs what could have been a run-of-the-mill detective story to create an originally suspenseful novel. Although the love story between disgraced policeman cum private dick George and client Sarah is slightly unconvincing I found this book compulsively readable in the whole. It is, in fact, rather brilliant.
