    About this ebook

    Unlock the more straightforward side of Brighton Rock with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

    This engaging summary presents an analysis of Brighton Rock by Graham Greene, a riveting thriller that follows a young mob boss, Pinkie ‘The Boy’ Brown, as he seeks to cover up the murder of a newspaper columnist named Charles Hale. Matters are complicated when a woman named Ida Arnold, who happened to meet Hale on the day of his death, embarks on a personal quest to uncover the truth, leading Pinkie to take increasingly desperate steps to elude the law. As the bodies pile up, an innocent young waitress named Rose is drawn into Pinkie’s tangled criminal web, convinced that their shared Catholic background has created a bond between them. It is up to Ida to race against time and save Rose from the vicious young man she has fallen in love with… Brighton Rock is considered one of Graham Greene’s seminal ‘Catholic novels’, and is a classic of the thriller genre.
