Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Five men board a train to Petersburg. By morning, one story will make them question who was ever truly there. A physician has been warned not to travel. His mind, he is told, requires rest. He boards the train anyway. As night closes around the carriage, he begins telling his fellow passengers about his life: an orphanage, a boy named Mikhail who became something closer than a brother, and Anna Petrovna, the woman who taught him that love does not always arrive as tenderness. Then comes Petersburg. A medical practice. A revoked license. And a dying man found in the rain. What follows is a story of guilt, memory, judgment, and a court determined to separate what can be proven from what can only be remembered. But the physician's account contains one problem that no witness, document, or verdict can resolve: Mikhail may never have existed at all.

The Fifth Passenger is a literary psychological suspense novel about loneliness, identity, unreliable memory, and the dangerous distance between truth and proof.…
