" Il y a douze jours, j'ai commis une bourde. A peinte un pas de travers, niais cela a suffi pour m'entraîner en chute libre, toute une vie partant à vau-l'eau... " Ainsi commence la douloureuse histoire de Lewis Penn, jeune avocat d'affaires prometteur dont la spécialité est l'obsession du détail, et le talent principal, celui de ne pas faire de vagues. Il n'a jamais commis le moindre faux pas. Jusqu'à ce jour fatal où il égare un dossier contenant des documents confidentiels... Une négligence qui devrait être sans conséquence s'il n'essayait pas désespérément de la dissimuler. Mais chacune des mesures qu'il prend pour y parvenir ne fait qu'aggraver son cas, le propulsant dans un univers incompréhensible où mafiosi ukrainiens et spécialistes de l'espionnage industriel semblent attachés à sa perte. Au-delà de sa carrière, c'est sa santé mentale, puis son identité, sa vie enfin que Lewis Penn devra essayer de sauver. Un surprenant thriller, d'une subtilité hitchcockienne, annonciateur d'un talent nouveau.
