Nobel Laureate Imre Kertesz plunges us into a story of the worst kind, told by a man living outside morality.
'A sophisticated and brilliant dissection of nihilistic power' Times Literary Supplement
From his prison cell, Antonio Martens, an interrogator for the recently fallen dictatorship, awaits execution. His charge? Multiple counts of murder; the murder of those disappeared by the state. Bereft of authority, and unable to avoid the consequences of his actions any longer, Martens turns his story to his involvement in the assassination of the high-profile Salinas family, and with it peers into the murderous mechanics of a regime bent on achieving its ends - no matter the means.
