Description
'The Danish author is back on form in this literary thriller'
Selected as a Book of the Year in 2017 in the Mail on Sunday
SUSAN SVENDSEN HAS AN UNUSUAL TALENT. She is an expert in finding out secrets. People feel oddly compelled to confide in her and unwittingly confess their innermost thoughts. Her whole life, she has exploited this talent, but now her family is in jeopardy and there is a prison sentence hanging over her head.
Then Susan gets a timely offer from a former government official: use her power one more time and have all charges dropped. To get her life back in order, she must track down the last surviving members of a secret think tank, the Future Committee, and find out the details in this committee’s mysterious final report. But there are some powerful people determined that the report is never revealed.
Advance Praise
Peter Høeg is back. And better. And with a novel that is both a thriller, a social critique, and existentially provoking – and on top of that, wonderful and funny.
Dagbladenes Bureau
Peter Høeg is back with a new thriller about quantum physics and the fact that the elite is neglecting the rest of society…the novel is a well-placed kick into high society’s modern powdered wigs.
Weekendavisen
It is not often that Høeg writes a new novel, but this one has clearly been worth the wait.
