INTERMISSION
new York, June 1961. The Bill Evans Trio, featuring
twenty-five year old Scott LaFaro on bass, record two live
albums – Sunday at the village vanguard and Waltz for
debby – that will go down in musical history.
Ten days later LaFaro is killed in a car accident, and
Evans disappears for seven months. InTERMISSIon
tells the story of what happens next.
Exhaustively researched, vividly realised,
InTERMISSIon takes a period from the life of one
of America’s great artists and creates from it an
extraordinary novel of imaginative skill and ambition.
Written in spare, evocative prose, it inhabits the lives
of four people in orbit around a tragedy and its fallout,
presenting an intense and moving portrait of the burden
of grief and of a man lost to his family, and to himself.
It is also a conjuring of a pivotal moment in music and
culture in America, and a unique representation of the
jazz scene in the early 1960s. InTERMISSIon is a novel
of pure control and power.
owen Martell was born in South Wales and studied at the
universities of Aberystwyth and oxford. He has published
two previous novels in Welsh, and has won the Wales
Book of the Year Award. He currently lives in Paris.

wanting for nothing. But one night, after a boozy evening
out, she gets in the wrong cab home…
When d’Cruz hires Boxer to find Alyshia, Boxer knows

enemies along the way. despite the vast d’Cruz fortune,
the kidnappers don’t want cash – instead favouring a
cruel and lethal game. But the uK government don’t want
their big new investor to lose his daughter in the heart of
the capital. MI6 officers in India follow Boxer’s leads and
soon it seems more lives than Alyshia’s are at stake, as the
trail crosses paths with a terrorist plot on British soil.
To save Alyshia, Boxer must dodge religious fanatics,
Indian mobsters and London’s homegrown crimelords.
CAPITAL PunISHMEnT is a journey to the dark side of
people and places that lie just out of view, waiting for the
moment to tear a life apart.
