    Venue séjourner sur l'île de Rhodes pour se remettre d'un drame personnel, Heather Mallender disparaît brusquement au cours d'une balade en montagne, presque sous les yeux d'Harry Barnett, le gardien de la villa où elle résidait. Soupçonné de l'avoir assassinée, Harry est laissé en liberté, faute de preuves. Ce quinquagénaire alcoolique et désabusé décide alors de mener l'enquète à partir de sa seule piste: les vingt-quatre dernières photos prises par la jeune femme. Cliché après cliché, il va ainsi reconstituer les dernières semaines de sa vie, entre la Grèce et l'Angleterre. Mais plus il apprend de choses sur le passé d'Heather et plus le mystère s'épaissit. Robert Goddard signe avec Heather Mallender a disparu un pavé à suspense à devenir asocial et insomniaque. Olivia de Lamberterie, Elle. Rendez-vous à la fin, grandiose et inattendue. Vraiment. Marie Rogatien, Le Figaro Magazine.

    Harry Barnett is shocked to learn that he has a son--David Venning, a brilliant mathematician, now languishing in hospital in a diabetic coma. And this is only the first and smallest of the mysteries he is about to encounter. David's condition is attributed to an accident or suicide attempt. But Harry discovers that his mathematical notebooks are missing from the hotel room where he was found and two other scientists employed by the same American forecasting institute have died in suspicious circumstances. Driven on by the slim hope of saving the son he never knew he had, Harry goes in search of the truth and finds himself entangled in several different kinds of conspiracy--none of which he ought to stand the slightest chance of defeating. Harry Barnett was the flawed hero of Robert Goddard's earlier novel, the award-winning Into the Blue. But nothing in that experience prepared him--or the reader--for the baffling conundrums and heart-stopping suspense of Out of the Sun

    For a group of ex-comrades, it is to be the reunion to end all reunions: a weekend in the Scottish castle where they were guinea pigs in a psychological experiment many years before. They haven't seen each other since. But the convivial atmosphere on the journey north is quickly shattered by the apparent suicide of one of their party. When a second death occurs, a sense of forboding descends on the group. It appears that the past is coming back to haunt them, a past that none of them have ever spoken about. Their recollections are all frighteningly different. So what really happened? Then when one of them uncovers an extraordinary secret, he becomes convinced that they will never leave the castle alive...
