The Gift

The gripping new novel from the master of the dark psychological thriller, Sebastian Fitzek.

Milan Berg is standing at a set of traffic lights when a car stops next to him. In the back seat he sees a frightened young girl. Desperate, she presses a piece of paper against the window.

A cry for help?

Milan can't read it - because he's illiterate, a secret that he's managed to hide for most of his life. But he understands the meaning of the note: the girl is in mortal danger.

When he begins to search for her, Milan begins a nightmarish odyssey that ends with a cruel realisation: sometimes the truth is too terrible to live with - and ignorance is the greatest gift on earth.

With a twisty, gripping non-linear storyline that charts one man's descent into a real-life nightmare, The Gift is perfect for fans of Chris Carter and Lars Kepler.
