FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SIX FOUR: A TENSE INVESTIGATION IN THE AFTERMATH OF AN AIR DISASTER – FOR FANS OF SPOTLIGHT AND AFTER THE CRASH.
‘He’s a master’ New York Times Book Review
‘Very different . . . to almost anything out there’ Observer
1985. Kazumasa Yuuki, a seasoned reporter at the North Kanto Times, runs a daily gauntlet against the power struggles and office politics that plague its newsroom. But when an air disaster of unprecedented scale occurs on the paper’s doorstep, its staff are united by an unimaginable horror, and a once-in-a-lifetime scoop.
2002. Seventeen years later, Yuuki remembers the adrenaline-fuelled, emotionally charged seven days that changed his and his colleagues’ lives. He does so while making good on a promise he made that fateful week – one that holds the key to its last unsolved mystery, and represents Yuuki’s final, unconquered fear.
‘Seventeen is a brilliant novel on any level – it’s a gripping page turner, while remaining moving and complex. It’s a deeply satisfying read and it will be a while before I read anything as good’ William Ryan
