A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Robert Goddard was born in Hampshire and read History at Cambridge. His first novel, Past Caring, was an instant bestseller. Since then his books have captivated readers worldwide with their edge-of-the-seat pace and their labyrinthine plotting. His first Harry Barnett novel, Into the Blue, was winner of the first WHSmith Thumping Good Read Award and was dramatized for TV, starring John Thaw.

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

There's no such thing as easy money. As surgeon Edward Hammond is about to find out. Thirteen years ago he performed a life-saving operation on Serbian gangster Dragan Gazi. Now Gazi is standing trial for war crimes at the international court in The Hague. After Hammond saved his life, Gazi's men went on to slaughter thousands in the Balkan civil wars.

Gazi's family have a favour to ask: in exchange for keeping Hammond's dirty little secret - and a bigger secret he hadn't even realized he was implicated in - they want him to find the man who holds the key to all the money Gazi squirrelled away before his arrest. But Italian financier Marco Piravani doesn't want to be found, not by Hammond, not by anyone. No sooner has Hammond tracked him down than he disappears again. Hammond has no choice but to set off in pursuit.

The trail leads first to The Hague, where he makes an unlikely ally of Gazi's former mistress, Zineta Perovíc. They head for Italy, in search of Piravani, then Switzerland, where the money may be hidden, before Hammond is forced to return to Belgrade. There he must confront the bloody legacy of Gazi's career - and his share of the blame for it.

Blood Count is not only a brilliant, race-against-time thriller but also a penetrating examination of cause and effect. In this novel, every action has a consequence and every question must have an answer. Only then will Hammond be able to lay the past to rest...
