A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“An exciting, nervy thriller that fulfills the demands of the genre while resonating on deeper frequencies.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Nuanced, compelling, and fresh...exceptionally well-done debut.” (Kirkus Review)

“Hugo Wilckens light, energetic prose keeps pages turning in an impressive and sure-footed debut.” (Daily Mail (London))

Taut, menacing, full of sinister beguilements. And unsettlingly shrewd. (Will Eaves, author of The Oversight)

A remarkable debut... (Dorset Echo)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Matthew Bourne -- very much the center of his own universe -- has a long-term partner, a mistress, and a successful career with a human rights agency, where he is campaigning to secure the release of a condemned African dissident. Then one day a colleague's wife dies in tragic circumstances, and Matthew is called to identify the body. Only much later does he realize that this incident has seeped into his life like a slow poison, and he spirals into a nightmare of death and betrayal.
