With some detailed accounts of torture by Geiger and his competitor, Dalton (whose work is less elegant), this is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach. But Geiger, who's seeing a psychiatrist and suffers disabling migraines, is a fascinating protagonist with a revealing backstory. A compelling debut thriller that blurs the lines between the good and bad guys. PrijzenErelijsten

HTML: A spectacularly original thriller about a professional torturer who has a strict code, a mysterious past, and a dangerous conviction that he can save the life of an innocent child Geiger has a gift: he knows a lie the instant he hears it. And in his businessâ??called "information retrieval" by its practitionersâ??that gift is invaluable, because truth is the hottest thing on the market. Geiger's clients count on him to extract the truth from even the most reluctant subjects. Unlike most of his competitors, Geiger rarely sheds blood, but he does use a variety of techniquesâ??some physical, many psychologicalâ??to push his subjects to a point where pain takes a backseat to fear. Because only then will they finally stop lying. One of Geiger's rules is that he never works with children. So when his partner, former journalist Harry Boddicker, unwittingly brings in a client who demands that Geiger interrogate a twelve-year-old boy, Geiger responds instinctively. He rescues the boy from his captor, removes him to the safety of his New York City loft, and promises to protect him from further harm. But if Geiger and Harry cannot quickly discover why the client is so desperate to learn the boy's secret, they themselves will become the victims of an utterly ruthless adversary. Mesmerizing and heart-in-your-throat compelling, Mark Allen Smith's The Inquisitor is a completely unique thriller that introduces both an unforgettable protagonist and a major new Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Ik had gehoopt dat er aan het eind van het boek meer duidelijk zou worden; wat was er nu eigenlijk met de zus van Harry aan de hand? En wat was het nut van het opvoeren van het personage van de psychiater? Waarom liep Geiger überhaupt bij een psychiater? Misschien heb ik ook wel niet goed opgelet en wordt het wel ergens verteld....
Mijn persoonlijke mening: zwak verhaal, onvoldoende uitgewerkt, onrealistisch. ( )
