Comment David Zinc, 31 ans, brillant avocat dans un prestigieux cabinet d'affaires de Chicago, a-t-il pu se retrouver employé chez Finley & Figg, un cabinet juridique minable ? Tout commence ce matin-là, à 7 h 30 tapantes. Au moment de franchir le seuil de l'extraordinaire gratte-ciel qui abrite son bureau ? David est submergé par l'angoisse. La tête lui tourne, il suffoque. Sans plus réfléchir, il fait demi-tour et se réfugie au bar du coin. En fin de journée, ivre mort, il atterrit sans savoir comment chez Oscar Finley et Wally Figg. Depuis vingt ans ces deux-là se chamaillent pour faire tourner leur boutique d'arnaques miteuses. Mais cette fois-ci, c'est sûr, ils sont sur le coup du siècle : ils attaquent en justice le géant pharmaceutique Varrick, dont le nouvel anticholestérol est accusé de provoquer des infarctus. Enfin le grand jour arrive ! Mais au procès, tout déraille. Et David se retrouve seul pour plaider la première grosse affaire pénale de sa carrière.

'The moment I heard how McAra died I should have walked away. I can see that now...' The narrator of Robert Harris' gripping new novel is a professional ghostwriter - cynical, mercenary, and with a nice line in deadpan humour. Accustomed to working with fading rock stars and minor celebrities, he jumps at the chance to ghost the memoirs of Britain's former prime minister, especially as it means flying to the American resort of Martha's Vineyard in the middle of winter and finishing the book in the seclusion of a luxurious house. But it doesn't take him long to realise he has made a terrible mistake. His predecessor on the project died in circumstances that were distinctly suspicious, and the ex-prime minister turns out to be a man with secrets in his past that are returning to haunt him - secrets with the power to kill.
