Ghost

Více o knize

From the bestselling author of *Fatherland* and *Imperium* comes an extraordinarily auspicious thriller of power, politics, corruption, and murder. Adam Lang, Britain's longest-serving and most controversial prime minister, faces disgrace after aligning with America in an unpopular war on terror. Now hiding in wintry Martha's Vineyard, he seeks to finish his explosive memoir, having accepted a massive cash advance. However, his ghostwriter mysteriously disappears and is later found dead on the island's shore. Enter the new ghostwriter—cynical, mercenary, and quick with deadpan humor—who eagerly takes on the project for the payday it promises. He arrives at Lang's luxurious estate, but soon realizes he has made a grave error in judgment. As he delves into the circumstances of his predecessor's death, he uncovers that Lang is not merely a flawed politician but a dark, tortured figure with haunting secrets capable of altering world politics and potentially leading to murder. Robert Harris, a master of his craft, delivers yet another brilliant tour de force that will compel and excite readers until the very last shocking page.
