Overview

Dirty Tricks is a very British, very black comedy, complete with kidnapping, blackmail, and a couple of murders. When our nameless narrator returns to Oxford after twenty years abroad, everyone seems to be richer, louder, and more successful than he is, and the old class system doesn't quite work the way it used to. So he embarks upon an affair with Karen, a vapid but lusty P.E. teacher married to a well-heeled and boring accountant, and soon learns that she prefers to commit adultery while her husband is in the vicinity. This risky triangle soon becomes a rectangle when he meets Alison, a more cultivated woman he thinks is much more his type. Before long, our protagonist is involved in a ruthless scheme to navigate the changing social waters, and also in two deaths that look a lot like murder.
