The Shawshank Redemption meets No Country for Old Men in the breathtaking standalone novel from international bestseller Michael Robotham. An exceptionally original and compelling thriller, and winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award 2015. Why would a man escape from prison the day before he's due to be released? Audie Palmer has spent a decade in prison for an armed robbery in which four people died, including two of the gang. Seven million dollars has never been recovered and everybody believes that Audie knows where the money is. For ten years he has been beaten, stabbed, throttled and threatened almost daily by prison guards, inmates and criminal gangs, who all want to answer this same question, but suddenly Audie vanishes, the day before he's due to be released. Everybody wants to find Audie, but he's not running. Instead he's trying to save a life . . . and not just his own. Praise for Michael Robotham's writing: 'Will have you turning the pages compulsively' The Times 'Robotham doesn't just make me scared for his characters, he makes my heart ache for them' Linwood Barclay 'Superbly exciting ... a terrific read' Guardian

In una fredda mattina di gennaio del 1895, nel cortile dell'École Militaire nel cuore di Parigi, Georges Picquart, ufficiale dell'esercito francese, presenzia alla pubblica condanna e all'umiliante degradazione inflitta al capitano Alfred Dreyfus, ebreo, accusato di avere passato informazioni segrete ai tedeschi. In piazza ventimila persone urlano: "Traditore! A morte gli ebrei!". Picquart, patriota integerrimo, scapolo quarantenne, intellettuale e moderatamente antisemita, con un'amante sposata a un funzionario del ministero degli Esteri, non ha alcun dubbio: Dreyfus è colpevole. Il condannato viene trattato in modo disumano e confinato sull'isola del Diavolo, nella Guyana francese, dove l'unica forma di sollievo alla sua angoscia e alla solitudine è scrivere accorate lettere alla moglie lontana. La faccenda sembra archiviata. Picquart, ora promosso capo della Sezione di statistica - l'unità del controspionaggio militare che aveva montato le accuse contro Dreyfus -, si accorge però, dopo il ritrovamento di un "petit bleu", che qualcuno sta ancora passando documenti segreti al nemico. Forse Dreyfus è innocente ed è stato incastrato proprio dagli uomini con cui lui sta lavorando? Questa possibilità getta Picquart nello sconforto e, determinato a scoprire la verità, diventa a sua volta personaggio assai scomodo per i suoi superiori. L'ufficiale e la spia si ritrovano così entrambi a dover difendere il proprio onore.

Maar Paul heeft zoiets al eerder gezien: twee jaar geleden, tijdens een overland-reis met een truck door Afrika werd Pauls vriendin in Kameroen op dezelfde manier gedood.

Samen met haar en met behulp van internet kont hij op het spoor van een gruwelijk spel - met mensenlevens als inzet. En al snel wordt duidelijk dat de dader een bekende van Paul moet zijn - en dat betekent dat Paul wel eens het volgende slachtoffer kan worden...
