About the book
The million-copy bestseller: A darkly disturbing tale of violence, parenthood and the façade of middle-class complacency, reissued in a stylish new livery as part of Atlantic's Cult Classics series.
An evening in Amsterdam and two couples meet for dinner to discuss their teenage sons. The boys have committed a horrifying act, caught on CCTV but so far they remain unidentified - except by their parents. Over the polite hum of restaurant conversation and the squeal of cutlery on plates, the couples have a question to answer: how far will they go to protect their children?

4.0I read this book alone in bed, late at night. That was not my best move. This book has a pretty basic beginning. Two brothers and their wives are at dinner. One brother is a politician and, like lots/all of them, seems like an arrogant dickhead. There's enough tension at the table already to get us through a meal, and I was ready for it. But then...some other things happen. I was not prepared. This book is really well done. Rating this four stars because I like to be surprised.
