Iron House - Tapa dura

Praise for John Hart:'The Last Child is a rare accomplishment -- a compelling thriller written with a masterful, literary touch. You'll feel this story as much in your heart as in your gut' -- Jeffery Deaver 'Just once in a while a thriller comes along that makes you want to run out in the street and proclaim how good it is. John Hart's third novel is one of those. Written with power, precision and an iron grip on character it makes him out as one of the outstanding talents of his generation ... it grips you by the throat and never lets go' -- Daily Mail 'A really classy thriller ... the solution had me blinking with surprise and admiration' -- Guardian 'Compelling' -- Observer 'Smart and swift-moving ... Hart knows his way round the courtrooms and jailhouses ... the way that Grisham and Turow do' -- Pat Conroy

Two babies left to die in an icy creak. Two boys who must fight to survive. Two men, two very different lives. One unbreakable bond. When a twelve-year-old boy murders his tormentor in their brutal orphanage, his older brother takes the blame and runs to New York - into the heart of organized crime. Two decades later, Michael returns to North Carolina with a sentence on his head, the mob in hot pursuit and his long-lost brother in trouble of a different kind. With vast sums in play, political fortunes at risk and bodies piling up, the brothers must reunite to solve the mystery of their shared past.
