Now rid of Prince John’s henchman, William, Marian and their friends are finally free to relax a little. Their respite is short, however. A judge known for his integrity and doggedness has been dispatched to Nottingham by the regent to investigate the recent trouble, and from the town’s very bowels, drawn by the rumours about the theft of the royal treasure, another gang of brigands emerges, their hearts and intentions far less pure than those of the ‘Merry Men’ allied with the Hood ...
Prince John was not at all impressed with the Sheriff of Nottingham’s resistance to his plans, any more than with the support the regent of England gives the same William. When he learns that the regent’s secretary is none other than William’s uncle, John Lackland decided to kill two birds with one stone, and deprive both his political rival and his enemy in Nottingham of a precious ally. Meanwhile, in Sherwood, a mysterious ‘Hood’ has taken to robbing rich merchants ...
Lieutenant Kazinsky has finally proven his loyalty once and for all to his small band of rebels. The ambush he set for their pursuers with Sergeant Sabiane destroyed their vehicles and even injured their leader, Morvan. But ‘the Puzzle’ never gives up on a prey. Soon, the mutineers must face the hardest choice of all. Continuing means killing other Frenchmen. Stopping means abandoning their friends, maybe even betraying them. In the end, do they even stand a chance of succeeding?

THE ADVERSARY is the shocking true story of a respectable doctor, 18 years of lies, and five murders. Who could have imagined Romand as a murderer? He was, after all, a noted doctor at the World Health Organisation, a groundbreaking researcher with connections to international humanitarian figures, a financial wizard entrusted with his in-laws' life savings, a loving son who called his parents every evening to say good night. If there was a problem, no one knew it. As it turned out, there were many: Romand had no medical degree; he had no job; he knew no influential contacts; he had spent his in-laws' money. And when a relative went to break the terrible news of the murder of his wife and children to Romand's parents, they too were dead - murdered by the stranger who had been their son. A mesmerizing account of the hundreds of daily lies that propelled one man's life, THE ADVERSARY is also a meditation on the mystery of identity, evil and the desperate logic by which it is easier to kill than to confess. From Emmanuel Carrère, the bestselling author of psychological suspense, this is a riveting tale of unfathomable deception.
