With his second novel Baker takes more risks than many writers would dare and triumphs. Val McDermid, novelist, Manchester Evening News.Baker’s second novel is strong, dark and discursive. There’s no doubt that – with his York setting and up-from-the-gutter hero – Baker has added something new to the crime scene. Philip Oakes, Literary Review.The supporting cast work splendidly, and York itself is evoked in an effective series of settings. Dark and seedy, leavened with ample wit, I enjoyed this book and can imagine it making an entertaining television series. Martin Hughes, Crime Time.

Von Oktober bis April kommt ein Wanderfalkenpaar zum Jagen an die ostenglische Küste, wo John Alec Baker es beobachtet: Die beiden Vögel baden, töten, fressen, schlafen. Seine Aufzeichnungen werden zum poetischen Tagebuch einer Obsession, ein Klagelied auf die Anmut und Einsamkeit des Jägers. Mit scharfem Bewusstsein für die Schönheit der Natur erzählt Baker die Geschichte seiner Annäherung an den schwer fassbaren Falken, in der er förmlich mit dem Vogel verschmilzt. Der Wanderfalke ist die sprachgewaltige Liebeserklärung an eine Landschaft, die Baker – obgleich tausendfach beschrieben – aus neuer Perspektive zu zeigen vermag: Durch die Augen des Vogels wird uns England zur Wildnis. Wie kaum ein anderes Buch feiert dieses Meisterwerk der literarischen Naturbeobachtung die unerschöpfliche Vitalität der Natur.
