A summer's evening in Amsterdam and two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant. Between mouthfuls of food and over the delicate scraping of cutlery, the conversation remains a gentle hum of politeness - the banality of work, the triviality of holidays. But the empty words hide a terrible conflict and, with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being sharpened... Each couple has a fifteen-year-old son. Together, the boys have committed a horrifying act, caught on camera, and their grainy images have been beamed into living rooms across the nation; despite a police manhunt, the boys remain unidentified - by everyone except their parents. As the dinner reaches its culinary climax, the conversation finally touches on their children and, as civility and friendship disintegrate, each couple shows just how far they are prepared to go to protect those they love.

Seller's Description:
Fair. This is a used Library Rental copy in acceptable condition. Will have standard markings from the previous owner which could include stamps extra barcodes and or stickers. The item is fully usable but over all is in worse for wear condition.
Although the subject matter and the people involved were unpleasant and unsettling, I found I couldn't put the book down. A little slow in the first chapter or so, then the pace picked up and wow, what read.

Very unique storytelling
The book draws you in with a great plot and characters. The background stories while they are at dinner makes for an intriguing dinner indeed!

Quick Read
Quick read, great character development, but very dark and perplexing.
