Beskrivelse
Marks the return of Nicholas Newman, the architect protagonist of the bestselling The Amethysts, which the critics called ‘unforgettable’.
Played out in the arena of football, Pearl is a compelling story in which the past rises to dominate the present and perhaps the future.
Nicholas Newman, affluent, successful, but emotionally unresolved, is a reluctant discoverer of events which took place during the Second World War. Placed under huge moral pressure by the terms of a dead friend’s bequest, he stumbles upon a secret which directs the violence on the football terraces of Europe.
One of his clients holds the key. Johann Pearl – ‘the Black Pearl’ – a Dutch international footballer has commissioned Newman to design his house. With the plans come extraordinary violence and Nicholas Newman is once again at the centre of a psychological mystery that he can only resolve by examining his own life.
