Description
On a bright spring day in Amsterdam a man goes out to buy a packet of cigarettes. He is a dancer - charismatic, talented and physically beautiful. What happens next takes him completely by surprise and marks him for ever. He awakens to find that he has been abducted by three hooded strangers and subsequently imprisoned in a mysterious white room, which will have consequences that are both poignant and highly disturbing.

'An exceptional book ... It is perfect ... From beginning to end it is a true chiller' * Guardian * 'Intellectually intriguing, viscerally gripping and emotionally engaging. The only reason you'll put this book down is to postpone the dreadful moment when you finish it' * Independent * 'Gripping, original and intricately conceived and written' * The Times * 'Compelling ... A truly memorable book, full of insights into sexuality, and the dehumanisation of a man who loses everything through no fault of his own' * Marie Claire *More details
