When a successful British ghost writer agrees to complete
the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang, his agent
assures him it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. But the project
seems doomed from the start - not least because his predecessor
on the project, Lang’s long-term aide, died in an unfortunate
accident. THE GHOST WRITER flies out to work on the project, in
the middle of winter, in an oceanfront house on an island off the
US Eastern seaboard. But the day after he arrives, a former British
cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal seizure
of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture by the
CIA—a war crime. The controversy brings reporters and protesters
swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying with his wife,
Ruth, and his personal assistant (and mistress), Amelia. As THE
GHOST WRITER works, he begins to uncover clues suggesting his predecessor
may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA—and
that somehow this information is hidden in the manuscript he left
behind. Was Lang in the service of the American intelligence agency
while he was Prime Minister? And was THE GHOST WRITER’s predecessor
murdered because of the appalling truth he uncovered? Resonating
with topical themes, this atmospheric and suspenseful political
thriller is a story of deceit and betrayal on every level –
sexual, political and literary. In a world in which nothing, and
no one, is as it seems, THE GHOST WRITER quickly discovers that
the past can be deadly and that history is decided by whoever stays
alive to write it.
