(P/B) THE ADVERSARY

Παρουσίαση

THE ADVERSARY is the shocking true story of a respectable doctor, 18 years of lies, and five murders. Who could have imagined Romand as a murderer? He was, after all, a noted doctor at the World Health Organisation, a groundbreaking researcher with connections to international humanitarian figures, a financial wizard entrusted with his in-laws' life savings, a loving son who called his parents every evening to say good night. If there was a problem, no one knew it.
As it turned out, there were many: Romand had no medical degree; he had no job; he knew no influential contacts; he had spent his in-laws' money. And when a relative went to break the terrible news of the murder of his wife and children to Romand's parents, they too were dead - murdered by the stranger who had been their son. A mesmerizing account of the hundreds of daily lies that propelled one man's life, THE ADVERSARY is also a meditation on the mystery of identity, evil and the desperate logic by which it is easier to kill than to confess.
From Emmanuel Carrere, the bestselling author of psychological suspense, this is a riveting tale of unfathomable deception. (From the publisher)
