Summary
We all need a purpose in life. One man only finds his in death.
Camden, London—1975
A bear-like man leaves a pub just before last orders—a man you’d much rather regard as a friend than an enemy. But, to Roland Raynott, Clement is most definitely the enemy. Minutes later, Clement is lying dead in a rain swept alley as Roland Raynott scurries away.
Atlanta, Georgia–2022
An old letter hidden amongst his late mother’s possessions is the reason why Patrick Finch is now 4,000 miles from his home in South London. The letter suggested that a man by the name of Ray Johnson might be Patrick’s biological father and the only person on the planet he can now call family.
His quest to find Ray Johnson doesn’t start well after two men attempt to rob Patrick. They might have succeeded if it wasn’t for the sudden intervention of a man dressed in flared jeans and a denim waistcoat. After brutally dealing with Patrick’s assailants, the stranger introduces himself as Clement.
Confused and seemingly suffering from amnesia, Clement claims he has no idea how he arrived in Atlanta, but he does know one thing—he absolutely must help Patrick in his quest.
Despite his reservations about Clement’s motives, not to mention his industrial use of the English language, Patrick reluctantly agrees that the big man can help in the search for Ray Johnson. What the two men unearth on their journey will change Patrick’s life forever…and possibly Clement’s death.

Marvelous stories with heart and history
I absolutely love these books. The characters are so beautifully observed and the historical contexts are really well captured. The author does a great job of bringing up to date a character from another time.

Great sequel to Clement books
Love these books - ordinary people helped out by 70 s throwback Clement. His distinctly non-U style is reminiscent of childhood, and I find him a very appealing figure

Fun escapism
First time I’ve read a book by this author and I’ve immediately bought another. This book was great fun, an interesting story, loved the Clement character. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is the narrator was a bit OTT on occasion and some ridiculous mispronunciations.

Well written and great performance by Bruce Thomas
I love the Clement series and so far this is the best overall. The characters come alive with a great performance from the narrator who does the best version of Clement out of the whole series.
The story is full of turns keeping up the excitement to the end.
Clement at his best!

Keith did it again
OMG. Keith did it again. I can't wait for Catfished. Rarely has a character deserved to be written about more than Clement. I have to thank my mate Gaz for introducing me to both Keith and Clement

Keith A Pearson is the author equivalent of Pringles
I say in the title to this review that Keith Pearson is the 'author equivalent of Pringles', because as the advert goes "Once you pop, you can't stop".
I discovered Keith Pearson by way of an Amazon recommendation. I had apparently enjoyed a similar book, so why not try this?
The first book of his that I read was 'the '86 fix', This was quickly followed by "Beyond Broadhall" and by the time I had completed it, I was completely hooked. I have now read each of his titles. They're all wonderful. It's not just the story (which in each case is is brilliant) it's the way he makes you care about the characters – either in a positive or negative way. They are so well described that you can't help feeling empathy. There have been times when I have read his stories in tears.
Anyway, this review is about his latest book, "Eminence". I was worried that we might have seen the end of Clement, but fortunately he has been resurrected in this new series of books. This can be read as a standalone novel, although I would definitely suggest you start with "who sent Clement" which was the first in the previous Clement series. There are some elements to this mysterious tough guy, which are best explained by starting from the beginning.
I hope that by writing this review I can persuade a few more people to discover Keith Pearson. Just read any of his novels, and I promise that you will be spending a lot of your time over the next year or so ploughing through the lot.

What can I say. Clement makes me happy.
These books are joyful. Twisty, turney and funny.
The characters are engaging and well formed. Only dislike is some American pronunciation. Just don’t!
I listen to audio books because my eyesight is not so good, so please Mr narrator, don’t ruin it.
