Description

The New York Times-bestselling author of Fatherland and Imperium "hits one out of the park with this dark paranoid thriller... an intelligent page turner" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

An extraordinarily auspicious thriller of power, politics, corruption, and murder -- now a major motion picture starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan.

The role of a ghostwriter is to make his client look good, not to uncover the truth. But what happens when the client is a major political figure, and the truth could change the course of history? Adam Lang, the controversial former prime minister of Britain, is writing his memoirs. But his first ghostwriter dies under mysterious circumstances, and his replacement -- whose experience lies in portraying aging rock stars and film idols -- knows little about Lang's inner circle. Flown to join Lang in a secure house on the remote shores of Martha's Vineyard in the depths of winter, cut off from everyone and everything he knows, he comes to realize he should never have taken the job.

It's not just his predecessor's mysterious death that haunts him, but Adam Lang himself. Deep in Lang's past are buried shocking secrets. Secrets with the power to alter world politics. Secrets with the power to kill.

"The Ghost has got the goods." -- Stephen King, #1 New York Times-bestselling author

"A master of the intelligent thriller." -- The Times (London)

"Remarkable." -- Sunday Telegraph (London)

"Robert Harris's latest thriller is more than a fun read: it is a super-duper, double fun bag-sized read thanks to his masterful plotting." -- Daily Telegraph (London)
