Book excerpt: A classic pitch-black wartime thriller from the author of An Untouched House 'I immerse myself in the book, intimidated at first by its length, astonished afterwards to find I have read it at a single sitting... The suspense never falters' Milan Kundera Under Nazi occupation, Henri Osewoudt finds himself drawn into the resistance by his near-doppelgänger, the ruthless Dorbeck, Soon Osewoudt has entered a world that is a photo negative of his previous humdrum existence – carrying messages, helping British agents to escape and killing collaborators. But how much of it is real? The Darkroom of Damocles is a razor-sharp classic thriller set in a world where everything is permitted, even murder. As unsettling and morally challenging today as when it was first written.
