A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

From the international bestseller and winner of the prestigious Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger comes William Brodrick's most suspenseful book to date - an unforgettable tale of love, death, and redemption.

In present-day Cambridge, Father Anselm, a brilliant Gilbertine monk, receives a visit from an old friend with a dangerous story to tell - the story of a woman betrayed by time, fate, and someone close to her . . . someone still unknown.

Anselm is called upon to investigate both her story and a mystery dating back to the early 1980s, to an Eastern Europe in the icy grip of the Cold War. And as he peels back years of history, decades of secrets, and a half-century of lies, he exposes a truth so shocking that some would rather die than see it exposed...

If you have not yet read William Brodrick, discover for yourself a writer who has been heralded as one of the finest in the genre by his fellow authors, and who is establishing himself as a writer of modern day suspense classics.

They came for me in November nineteen fifty-one and took me to Mokotow prison.

Cambridge, the present day. And out of the past, a cry for help: Father Anselm, the brilliant Benedictine, receives a visit from an old friend with a dangerous story to tell - the story of a woman betrayed by time, fate, and someone close to her . . . someone still unknown.

As a young woman, Roza Mojeska was part of an underground resistance group in Communist Poland. But after her arrest, an agent of the secret police makes her a devil's bargain - and in the dark of a government prison, a terrible choice is made.

Now, fifty years later, Anselm is called upon to investigate both Roza's story and a mystery dating back to the early 1980s, in the icy grip of the Cold War. And as he peels back years of history, decades of secrets, a half-century of lies, he exposes a truth that victim and torturer would keep hidden...
