This book covers the days Raoul Moat was on the run after being released from jail, attacking his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend and shooting a police officer. It does this from within the mind of Raoul Moat, with occasional fact checks from the author. It's very compelling and immediate and we had a great discussion of it at my book club. The line between toxic masculinity and mental illness. The failures of the authorities. The difficulty of improving your circumstances if your social circle enable your worst impulses.

Winner of a UK Northern Writers Award. Moat was the fugitive Geordie bodybuilder-mechanic who became notorious one hot July week when, after killing his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend, shooting her in the stomach, and blinding a policeman, he disappeared into the woods of Northumberland, evading discovery for seven days - even after TV tracker Ray Mears was employed by the police to find him. Eventually, cornered by the police, Moat shot himself. Andrew Hankinson, a journalist from Newcastle, re-tells Moat's story using Moat's words, and those of the state services which engaged with him, bringing the reader disarmingly close at all times to the mind of Moat. It is a reading experience unrelieved by authorial distance or expert interpretation. The narrative Hankinson has woven is entirely compelling, even if Moat's weaknesses are never far from sight, requiring the reader to work out where they should stand.
