‘Four hundred. All murdered.’ ‘At once?’ ‘So they say.’ ‘By?’ Roger drew back. ‘Well, that’s where things get opaque.’

Bill ten Boom has walked out on everything he thought was important to him: his career, his wife, even his country. Invited to become a prosecutor at The Hague’s International Criminal Court, he had a chance to start afresh.
