Sinopse

The Man Within, Graham Greene's debut novel, plunges readers into a deeply human world where internal anxieties, betrayal, and the pursuit of redemption collide. The story follows a tortured protagonist entangled in the operations of a smuggling ring, seeking to escape both his accomplices and his own guilt. With each encounter, Greene weaves a tension, hinting that any shift could tip the precarious balance that keeps the hero from descending into ruin.
Set against a backdrop of shadowy landscapes and atmospheres, this gripping tale of psychological suspense probes the fragile nature of human conscience, while exploring themes of loyalty, fear, and isolation. As lines between right and wrong blur, the novel challenges readers to confront moral ambiguities offering no easy answers. The supporting cast proves equally compelling, contributing to a woven tapestry of motives and moral pressures. Intertwined with reflections on faith—one of Greene's hallmark motifs—the narrative gains a distinctive depth.
The Man Within stands as both a pulse-pounding thriller and a poignant exploration of the human spirit, inviting readers to join a journey that is as introspective as it is suspenseful, revealing the novel's haunting conclusion. It also stands as an early testament to Greene's remarkable literary prowess and insight.

Graham Greene (1904–1991) was a towering figure in twentieth-century literature, celebrated for his unparalleled ability to blend compelling storytelling with profound moral inquiry. Born in Berkhamsted, England, Greene struggled with depression during his youth, a theme that would echo in his novels, which often explore the human psyche's darker recesses. Known for his deft handling of suspense, espionage, and existential crises, he produced a remarkable body of work spanning novels, short stories, plays, and essays. Greene's unflinching examinations of faith, doubt, and redemption enriched modern literature, influencing countless writers and cementing his legacy as one of the greatest novelists of his era.

As the pressure mounts, her relationship with her cop boyfriend collapses, forcing Ava to confront the pain—and the secrets—that could cost her love, her career, and her life.

    An apparent suicide in a London townhouse uncannily mirrors a similar incident from twenty-five years ago, prompting Scotland Yard's George Flint to delve deep into the past in search of the solution to a long-forgotten mystery. 
     
     
     
    Meanwhile, Joseph Spector travels with a coach party through the rainy English countryside to visit an allegedly haunted house on a lonely island called Devil's Neck. The house, first built by a notorious alchemist and occultist, was later used as a field hospital in the First World War before falling into disrepair. The visitors hold a seance to conjure the spirit of a long-dead soldier. But when a storm floods the narrow causeway connecting Devil's Neck to the mainland, they find themselves stranded in the haunted house. Before long, the guests begin to die one by one, and it seems that the only possible culprit is the phantom soldier. 
     
     
     
    Flint's and Spector's investigations are in fact closely linked, but it is only when the duo are reunited at the storm-lashed Devil's Neck that the truth is finally revealed. Tom Mead once again creates a brilliant homage to John Dickson Carr and the Golden Age of mysteries with this intricately plotted puzzle.
