À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Certainly there are ghosts in these towers. For me they are the ghosts of two children. And even now - ten years later and seven hundred miles away - I still wake most nights with the muffled echo of their cries in my ears and the weight of their deaths on my conscience...

Three lives, three turning points.

Craig was a teenage lifeguard in Germany when two children died on his watch. It should never have happened. He was an expert swimmer. His grandfather, Gordon, was on board a ship torpedoed during World War II. He survived by clinging to the floating body of a colleague. Years later, he met one of the men who had attacked his ship. Gerd is a refugee of the Cold War. Recruited by the Stasi as a young boy, he escaped to the West after his mission went terribly wrong. He never went back.

The Incident is a searingly powerful novel about history, fate and the moments that change our lives forever.
