Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Thomas Whitaker is thirty-eight years old, holds a steady job at the University of Pennsylvania archives, and lives a life as neatly filed as the boxes he handles every day. He has spent his career sorting other people's stories into folders. He never expected to become one himself.Then, one October night, something happens to him - something he can't prove and can't fully explain.
