Rec Yard
Witty, suspenseful novel about a thriller writer who falls in with a literarily gifted criminal
‘It seemed like such a good idea.’ When a story starts like this, you know there is trouble ahead. And if the author’s name is Herman Koch – who rose to international fame with The Dinner – you know the driving element in the story will be people’s inability (or unwillingness) to keep their inherent aggression in check.

Sample Translation
This is vintage Herman Koch. A skilfully plotted novel about friendship, betrayal and loyalty that is – pardon the cliche – unputdownable.
Het Parool
Playful, with vivid prose and plenty of sly wit.
de Volkskrant
Herman Koch has made a career from saying the apparently unsayable.
