Information

Description

Blurb:
Ten years ago, they took him. He doesn’t know who. For ten years he has been confined in a private prison. He doesn’t know why. For ten years his only contact with the outside world has been a television set and the voices of his jailers. In time, he lost himself. He changed . . . transformed himself into something else . . . something hard . . . something lethal. Suddenly one day, his incarceration ends, again without explanation. He is sedated, stuffed inside a trunk, and dumped in a park. When he awakes, he is free to reclaim what’s left of his life . . . and what’s left is revenge.
Klappentext:
Goto wird entführt und in einem fensterlosen Raum eingesperrt. Sein einziger Kontakt zur Außenwelt ist ein Fernseher. Er weiß weder wer ihn gefangen hält, noch kennt er den Grund. Er weiß nur, dass er sich nicht in einem normalen Gefängnis befindet. Am Leben erhalten ihn intensives Körpertraining und chinesische Mahlzeiten, mit denen er durch eine Klappe versorgt wird. Nach zehn Jahren wird er freigelassen – ebenso unvermittelt wie er seiner Freiheit beraubt wurde. Wer waren seine Kidnapper? Warum wurde er so lange Zeit festgehalten? Wer hat versucht seine Identität zu zerstören? Goto sucht nach Antworten – und gerät mehr und mehr in die Abgründe seiner Vergangenheit …
Texto de presentación:
Hace diez años Gotò fue secuestrado. No sabe quién ni por qué. Ha estado encerrado en una prisión privada, y su único contacto con el mundo exterior han sido un televisor y la voz de sus carceleros. Un día se despierta y se encuentra al aire libre. Desconoce los motivos por los que ha sido liberado, pero sabe que ha llegado la hora de reclamar venganza.

Inicia una sangrienta búsqueda hasta que halla la pista que le revela la identidad de su torturador. Se trata de un antiguo compañero de instituto movido por el rencor, y ahora está ansioso por salir de las sombras. Pronto se encontrarán cara a cara. El juego no ha hecho más que empezar.

Gotò tratará de descubrir las razones que alimentaron el odio y motivaron el secuestro, pero le resultará difícil ya que su memoria ha sido manipulada. Si quiere acabar de una vez por todas con su mortal enemigo, tendrá que liberar sus recuerdos. Y puede que ni siquiera eso sea suficiente.

Testo della bandella:

10 anni… 10 anni in cui è stato rinchiuso in questa camera d’albergo trasformata in una prigione di lusso. 10 anni in cui l’unico contatto con l’esterno è stato un televisore e il sarcasmo dei suoi carcerieri. Solo, senza nessuno con cui parlare, ha finito per dimenticare la sua identità. Poi, improvvisamente, libero, senza nessuna spiegazione. Libero di riprendere il corso della sua vita… o almeno di ricominciarne una nuova. Ma è veramente così… oppure si tratta di una prigione di tipo completamente diverso? E chi è quella ragazza che lo accoglie in casa sua, senza nessuna spiegazione?
