"Stroud's best years are behind him. A former war photographer, he's seen things no one should have to see. He left the front line before his luck ran out. His best friend and mentor, Vincent Raphael, was not so fortunate and died in an explosion. His body was never recovered; his friends buried an empty box. But then Stroud gets a call from his old editor, Marcus Haig. Two months ago Raphael was photographed in Istanbul. Stroud doesn't believe it's him, but there's money on the table for Stroud to go out there and prove he's dead. But the more he looks, the harder that becomes. Stroud's journey will take him from London, to Istanbul, to Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin - on the trail of a shadow. A man who not only should be dead - but may never have existed"--Provided by publisher.… (more)

Een boek dat goed in elkaar zit en waar goed is over nagedacht. Stroud, Vincent Raphael en Marcus Haig zijn oorlogsfotografen die bij verscheidene gelegenheden samen zijn opgetrokken. Ze zijn vaak in gevaarlijke situaties samen en beschermen elkaar, maar toch komt Raphael om het leven wanneer een jeep explodeert. Stroud mist hem erg want Raphael was ook zijn mentor en goede vriend. Als Marcus, die inmiddels redacteur is by the Times, hem vertelt dat Raphael mogelijk gesignaleerd is en hem opdracht geeft om te onderzoeken of die geruchten op waarheid berusten, gaat Stroud op reis. Via Istanboel, Amsterdam, Parijs en Berlijn probeert hij het spoor van Raphael te volgen en valt daarbij in handen van een aantal niets ontziende ondervragers. Hij moet alles doen om het vege lijf te redden en de zoektocht tot een einde te brengen. ( )
