Krátky popis
A powerful tale of honour, prejudice and the twentieth century's
most maltreated hero June 8, 1954. Alan Turing, the visionary
mathematician, is found dead at his home in sleepy Wilmslow,
dispatched by a poisoned apple. Taking the case, Detective
Constable Leonard Corell quickly learns Turing is a convicted
homosexual. Confident it's a suicide, he is nonetheless confounded
by official secrecy over Turing's war record. What is more,
Turing's sexuality appears to be causing alarm among the
intelligence services - could he have been blackmailed by Soviet
spies? Stumbling across evidence of Turing's genius, and sensing an
escape from a narrow life, Corell soon becomes captivated by
Turing's brilliant and revolutionary work, and begins to dig
deeper. But in the paranoid, febrile atmosphere of the Cold War,
loose cannons cannot be tolerated. As his innocent curiosity fast
takes him far out of his depth, Corell realises he has much to
learn about the dangers of forbidden knowledge. David Lagercrantz
was born in 1962, and is an acclaimed author and journalist. As
well as numerous biographies (including the internationally
bestselling I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic, for which he was the
ghostwriter) he has written four novels, of which this is the first
to be translated into English. In December 2013 it was announced
that he would write a continuation of Stieg Larsson's Millennium
series.
