OverviewSamuel West reads Graham Greene's classic gang war thriller - complete and unabridged. 'Hale knew, before he had been in Brighton three hours, that they meant to murder him...' So begins Brighton Rock , in which a gang war rages through the dark underworld of 1930s Brighton. Seventeen-year-old Pinkie Brown, malign and ruthless, has killed a man. Believing he can escape retribution, he is unprepared for the courageous, life-embracing Ida Arnold. Greene's gripping thriller exposes a world of loneliness and fear, of life lived on the 'dangerous edge of things'. Brighton Rock has twice been adapted for film. Richard Attenborough starred as Pinkie in the 1947 version, with Sam Riley and Helen Mirren starring in the 2010 release.
