Description

Adam Farmer embarks on a mysterious bicycle journey to deliver a parcel to his father in Rutterburg, but fragmented memories and disturbing questions plague him along the way. As he pedals forward, grueling psychiatric interviews force him to confront buried truths about his past, slowly unraveling a dark secret that threatens to shatter everything he believes about his identity and family. Told through a masterful blend of present-day narrative and haunting flashbacks, this psychological thriller explores themes of identity, trauma, and the unreliability of memory. Robert Cormier's powerful prose creates an atmosphere of mounting dread that builds to a devastating revelation. A haunting and unforgettable exploration of how the past can consume the present, this novel remains a landmark work of young adult literature.
