HERMAN KOCH is the author of eight novels and three collections of short stories. "The Dinner," his sixth novel, has been published in forty countries and was an international bestseller. He currently lives in Amsterdam.

A riveting but disturbing literary thriller . . . Delicately told, in spare, haunting prose, there are echoes of Stephen King's Misery, but this is even more subtle, with a denouement to send shivers down the spine. * Daily Mail * The strands come blackly and brilliantly together . . .

Bold, provocative, regularly hilarious. * Irish Sunday Independent * Compelling and strange * Lady *
