Bill ten Boom has walked out on everything he thought wasimportant to him: his career, his wife, even his country. Invited to become aprosecutor at The Hague’s International Criminal Court, it was a chance tostart afresh. But when his first case is to examine the disappearance offour hundred Roma refugees – an apparent war crime left unsolved for ten years– it’s clear this new life won’t be an easy one . . . Whispered rumours have the perpetrators ranging from Serbparamilitaries to the U.S. Army, but there’s no hard evidence to hold eitheraccountable, and only a single witness to say it happened at all. To get to the truth, Boom must question the integrity ofevery person linked to the case – from Layton Merriwell, a disgraced US MajorGeneral, to flirtatious barrister, Esma Czarni – as it soon becomes apparentthat every party has a vested interest and no qualms in steering theinvestigation their way . . .
