“Kafka in overdrive”
Cincinnati Enquirer
Senseless
“Startling in conception and disturbing in what it says about our times”
J. M. Coetzee
Eliott Gast is kidnapped in Brussels by a group of international terrorists and held captive in a white room. Black wires hang from wall and ceiling, broadcasting his plight worldwide via the Internet. His crime, his kidnappers insist, demands justice. And their brand of justice is unique. A tale of man’s inhumanity to man, as elegant as it is disturbing.
“Brilliantly written with pace, style, confidence and insight, this unbearably tense and truly unforgettable novel will leave a lasting impression.”
