Über diesen Titel

Quatrième de couverture:

Late one night, Robert Danziger receives an unexpected call from a childhood friend, Duval Morgan. Duval has spent more than twenty years in an Illinois state penitentiary for the horrific rape and assault of a young nurse. Now he is finally out.

Robert has recently returned to his native city of Chicago to make a fresh start. But Duval is a voice from the past, and from a childhood Robert would rather forget. Robert reluctantly agrees to meet him, and is astonished to find he is proclaiming his innocence.

When Anna, a lawyer, takes up Duval's cause, Robert is reluctant to encourage his wife, for reasons he's not entirely sure of himself. Then just as Anna's investigations into the rape case start to make progress, Duval disappears.

Part literary thriller, part taut psychological suspense, Without Prejudice is a beautifully written and compulsive story of race, mixed motives and the dangers that can lie in the past.

Praise for Andrew Rosenheim:

'The pace is fast... the prose lean... readers will not find themselves bored for a second' Guardian

'A writer of discerning intelligence' Telegraph

'Spans the troubled waters between Harlan Coben and Anita Shreve' Independent

Revue de presse:

"Tautly structured and highly entertaining, Rosenheim's intelligent thriller poses questions about the nature of friendship and the quality of trust" (Daily Mail)

"Rosenheim paints a picture of a city that, despite its share of high-profile denizens, is still a place divided. This intelligent and well-crafted potboiler sheds light on a subject that goes beyond black and white" (Independent)

"An explosive story... The showdowns and set pieces - his boardroom battles, his torrid fling, his marital spats - are enjoyable and well-handled... Andrew Rosenheim has the literary skill and his plotting is good" (TLS)
