Story
Four people walked into the dining room that night. One would never leave. Matthew: the perfect husband. Titus: the perfect son. Charlie: the perfect illusion. Rachel: the perfect stranger. Charlie didn’t want her at the book club. Matthew wouldn’t listen. And that’s how Charlie finds himself slumped beside his husband’s body, their son sitting silently at the dinner table, while Rachel calls 999, the bloody knife still gripped in her hand.

Story
A fictional tale of love and darkness in Auschwitz-Birkenau, and of every man and woman who bore the Auschwitz tattoo or was interred in Nazi death camps throughout World War Two, this Holocaust love story is inspired by real events. It is a tribute to the courage of victims of Nazi war crime during the Holocaust, sadly a part of Jewish history. The horror of Holocaust experiments carried out under the auspices of war and Hitler's obsession with a master race, are hard to understand, impossible to condone, and difficult to imagine forgiving.

Summary
The new award-winning international best seller by the author of The Mountain.
Marlene Wegener is on the run. She has stolen something from her husband, something priceless, irreplaceable. But she doesn't get very far. When her car veers off a bleak midwinter road she takes refuge in the remote home of Simon Keller, a tough mountain man who lives alone with his demons.
Here in her high mountain sanctuary, she begins to rekindle a sense of herself: tough, capable, no longer the trophy on a gangster's arm.
But Herr Wegener does not know how to forgive, and in his rage he makes a pact with the devil. The Trusted Man. He cannot be called off, he cannot be reasoned with and one way or another he will get the job done.
Unless, of course, he's beaten to it....
Translated from the Italian by Howard Curtis and Katherine Gregor.

"D'Andrea piles on the action and the atmosphere with the panache of a seasoned writer." (Marcel Berlins, The Times)
