Overview

Londra, 2003. In zorii unei zile de sambata neurochirurgul Henry Perowne observa un avion cu o aripa in flacari indreptandu-se spre aeroportul Heathrow. Cum in aceeasi zi urma sa aiba loc o demonstratie de protest impotriva razboiului din Irak, Perowne nu exclude posibilitatea unei deturnari a avionului de catre teroristi. Desi sursa pericolului se va dovedi a fi alta, aparitia lui anunta un moment de cotitura in istorie si in viata protagonistului, pe care cititorul il urmareste mai ales prin intermediul monologului sau interior ce inregistreaza diferitele evenimente ale zilei: o operatie pe creier, un accident de masina, un joc de squash si o reuniune de familie in timpul careia atmosfera sumbra si nelinistea tot mai apasatoare ce se insinueaza printre lucruri si oameni fac loc unei violente explozive.
