Описание: Childhood sweethearts William and Mary have been married for sixty years. William is a celebrated surgeon, Mary a devoted wife. Both have a strong sense of right and wrong.
This is what their son, Joe OLoughlin, has always believed.
But when Joe is summoned to the hospital with news that his father has been brutally attacked, his world is turned upside down. Who is the strange woman crying at Williams bedside, covered in his blood - a friend, a mistress, a fantasist or a killer?
Against the advice of the police, Joe launches his own investigation. As he learns more, he discovers sides to his father he never knew - and is forcibly reminded that the truth comes at a price.
A mesmerising psychological thriller from one of the greatest crime writers of today, Michael Robotham, the international bestselling author of THE SECRETS SHE KEEPS.
Praise for Michael Robothams writing:
Will have you turning the pages compulsively The Times
Robotham doesnt just make me scared for his characters, he makes my heart ache for them Linwood Barclay
Superbly exciting ...
a terrific read Guardian
A nerve-shredding thriller with the heart and soul so often missing from lesser crime and suspense novels. I couldnt stop reading, yet I didnt want Audies story to end. Robotham is an absolute master Stephen King on Life or Death
