Описание: In this brilliant crime novel by CWA Gold Dagger winner Peter Dickinson, a writer looks back on his past and discovers the memory of a murder that needs to be solved Its been forty years since Paul Rogers spent a night at St. Aidans Preparatory School in Sussex and he believes he has forgotten nearly everything that happened there. When a biographer asks the now-middle-aged novelist about his youth, it triggers memories that Rogers thought he had lost forever and prompts him to begin writing about the summer of 1940, when the Nazis took Paris and his entire boarding school were evacuated to a country house in Devon. There the boys discovered a pastoral countryside whose woods held untold mysteries-one of which, Rogers realizes in hindsight, might have been a murder. To write about this long-forgotten crime, Rogers digs deep into his past, uncovering terrifying recollections that may or may not be real. Something gruesome happened that summer, but understanding it will force Rogers to clear the fog of memory and unravel its mysteries once and for all. A highly intelligent, appealing, and quite beguiling novel. -The Washington Post Book World Much more than a murder story . . . Hindsight is] an awfully good novel. -Ruth Rendell Hindsight] flies just about as high as the detective story can go. -H. R. F. Keating Peter Dickinson is no ordinary writer. . . .
