Beschreibung

Retired policeman Tom Kettle is settling into the quiet of his new home. For months he has barely seen a soul, but when two former colleagues arrive at his door with questions about an old case, he finds himself pulled into the darkest currents of his past. A beautiful, haunting novel, in which nothing is quite as it seems.

Rezensionen

'There is a kind of writing so rare and accomplished that it seems to erase the very nuts and bolts of its own construction. Reading it can produce an experience that feels close to miraculous ... I don't expect to read anything as moving for many years.' Guardian
