Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina:

“At the top of Lemon Street, as I emerged from Daniell Road, stood the tall granite column of the Lander Monument. At its foot a man in overalls was scrubbing at the dark and patchy stain that straggled towards Barrack Lane. Uncle Joshua’s blood spattered along a length of Truro pavement. It was real. In my mind’s eye, I could see and believe it all ...”

But the truth Christian Napier knew as a boy is not the whole story. What he remembered was a cunningly wrought fiction that was, by 1981, wearing dangerously thin. At his niece’s wedding, it reached breaking point.

At the heart of 'Beyond Recall' is the childhood friendship between Chris and Nicky, the boy whose father was hung for Joshua’s murder, a friendship shattered by guilt, yet true unto death ...

Robert Goddard, at the top of his form, tells a story that reveals itself in breathtaking twists. Its motivations are as devious, greedy and brutal as the blackmailers and murderers that hide within it.
