内容説明
The Professor of Truth is James Robertson's acclaimed novel about grief, truth and justice.
Twenty-one years after his wife and daughter were murdered in the bombing of a plane over Scotland, Alan Tealing, a university lecturer, still doubts the official version of events surrounding that terrible night. Obsessed by the details of what he has come to call The Case, he is sure that the man convicted of the atrocity was not responsible, and that he himself has thus been deprived not only of justice but also of any chance of escape from his enduring grief.
When a terminally ill American intelligence officer arrives on his doorstep with information about a key witness in the trial, Alan decides to act. Will this lead to the truth for which he has waited so long?
'Superb. A mystery thriller, a haunting evocation of grief' Daily Mail
'A great storyteller. It is a tense and gripping read, beautifully imagined' The Times
'Powered by action and mystery, and profoundly invested in the lives of its characters' Scotsman
