  • "Daniel Hunter, un abogado que ejerce en Londres, ha dedicado años a defender causas perdidas, sin implicarse y sin permitir que le afectasen una vez terminadas. Pero todo cambia cuando conoce a Sebastian Croll, un niño de once años acusado de asesinar a otro niño, Ben Stokes, de ocho. Al adentrarse en la difícil vida familiar de Sebastian, Daniel no puede evitar recordar su propia infancia en casas de acogida... y a Minnie, la mujer que lo adoptó y lo salvó con su cariño, hasta que le hizo tanto daño que Daniel la apartó de su vida. Pero ¿cuál fue el crimen de Minnie para que Daniel la evitarse durante quince años? ¿Perderá Daniel todo lo que ha logrado por esa obsesión que lo atormenta y que le hace dudar de la culpabilidad o inocencia de Sebastian? -- p. [4] of cover."

Une histoire fracassante, troublante de réalisme, chargée d'émotion et de suspense, sur la fin de l'innocence et l'espoir de rédemption. Un premier roman coup de poing.' - Avocat en droit pénal, Daniel Hunter s'est fixé une ligne de conduite stricte : ne pas s'investir émotionnellement dans ses dossiers. Mais le cas qui s'annonce va définitivement ébranler ses convictions... À onze ans, Sébastian Croll est accusé d'avoir battu à mort son camarade de jeu. Comment ce garçon intelligent, choyé, parfaitement éduqué aurait-il pu commettre un acte aussi atroce ? À mesure que Daniel découvre l'univers familial tourmenté de Sébastian, ses propres souvenirs émergent. Une enfance bafouée, chargée de violence et de colère ; et puis Minnie, cette femme au courage extraordinaire qui a changé son destin avant de le trahir à jamais... Alors que 'l'affaire Croll' déclenche un vaste ouragan médiatique, Daniel doit tenir bon, tout faire pour sauver Sébastian de la machine à broyer carcérale. Mais que dissimule vraiment ce visage d'ange ? Et si enfance n'était pas toujours synonyme d'innocence ?" [Source : 4e de couv.]."
