James Hazel is the brightest representative of the young generation of British thriller authors. He managed to breathe new life into this genre, merging it with a detailed investigation of the mysteries of recent history. The mass crimes of bygone days are unexpectedly and terribly resurrected in modern times... Lawyer Charlie Priest was the victim of an attack in his own home. Threatening to literally drill his eyes out, the criminal demanded that he give up something that Charlie did not have and could not have. The uninvited guest had to leave with nothing - and soon he was found impaled. A former police officer, Priest can't live in peace until he finds out what's going on. He does not yet know that his attempts to find the truth will lead him to the discovery of hitherto unknown secrets of the Second World War, shockingly dirty... A plot tense to the limit, as in the legendary novels of Thomas Harris.AMAZON.COM
