<p><b>THE NEW AWARD-WINNING INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER BY THE AUTHOR OF <i>THE MOUNTAIN</i></b><br><br><b>"Can be compared (with no fear of hyperbole) to Stephen King and Jo Nesbø" - Massimo Vincenz, <i>La Repubblica.</i></b><br><br><b>"D'Andrea piles on the action and the atmosphere with the panache of a seasoned writer" Marcel Berlins, <i>The Times.</i><br></b><br><br><b>Marlene Wegener is on the run. </b><br><br>She has stolen something from her husband, something priceless, irreplaceable.<br><br>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.<br><br>But Herr Wegener does not know how to forgive, and in his rage he makes a pact with the devil. <br><br>The Trusted Man. He cannot be called off, he cannot be reasoned with and one way or another he will get the job done.<br><br><b>Unless, of course, he's beaten to it . . .</b><br><br><br><br><b>Translated from the Italian by Howard Curtis and Katherine Gregor</b></p>
