Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | A young woman has been murdered, and a neighbour, a retired teacher from Chapleton College, is arrested. An eccentric loner intellectual, shy, a fastidious dresser with expensive tastes, he is the perfect candidate for a media monstering. In custody he is interviewed by two detectives: the smart-talking, quick-witted Gary, and his watchful colleague, Ander. Ander is always watchful, but particularly now, because the man across the table is his former teacher Michael Wolphram, whom he hasn't seen in nearly 30 years. As the novel proceeds, we watch Wolphram's media lynching as ex-pupils and colleagues line up to lie about him. In parallel, we read Ander's memories of his life as a young Dutch boy in 80s England. Another outsider, another loner in a school system rife with abuse and bullying, Ander has another case to solve: the cold case of his own childhood |
