The Ghost by Robert Harris

NOW AN ACCLAIMED FILM FROM ROMAN POLANSKI STARRING EWAN McGREGOR AND PIERCE BROSNAN

'The moment I heard how McAra died I should have walked away. I can see that now...'

A body washes up on the deserted coastline of America's most exclusive holiday retreat. But this is no open-and-shut case of suicide.

For Mike McAra was a man who knew too much. As aide to one of the most controversial men on the planet - Britain's former prime minister, holed up in a remote ocean-front house to finish his memoirs - he stumbled across secrets which cost him his life.

When a ghost writer is sent out to rescue the project it could be the opportunity of a lifetime. Or the start of a deadly assignment propelled by deception and intrigue - from which there will be no escape...
