## Description

***WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE*** Two old friends - Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday - meet at the funeral of gorgeous, witty Molly Lane. Both men had been Molly's lovers years before their dazzling success; Clive is Britain's most eminent modern composer and Vernon is the editor of the respected broadsheet, The Judge . In the weeks that follow, Clive and Vernon's lives become bound together in ways neither could have imagined. Two dubious moral decisions and a pact made in extremis lead them both to the heart of Amsterdam, and to their doom. 'The novel twists and turns unexpectedly... McEwan has a master's control over his instrument' Sunday Times
