Priznanje

Jo Spain

Kasno jedne večeri nepoznati muškarac upadne u luksuzan dom osramoćenog bankara Harryja McNamare i njegove žene Julie. Muškarac brutalno premlati Harryja dok užasnuta Julie sve to samo promatra, skamenjena od straha.

Svega sat vremena poslije napadač, JP Carney, predaje se policiji. Priznaje da je nasmrt pretukao Harryja, no tvrdi da napad nije prethodno smišljen te da nije poznavao identitet žrtve. Budući da je u pitanju ozloglašeni Harry McNamara, detektivi ne mogu a da se ne zapitaju, je li to doista nasumičan čin nasilja ili je povezan s jednim od Harryjevih mnogobrojnih grijeha: korupcijom, pohlepom, izdajom? Ovaj uzbudljiv psihološki triler navest će vas da se zapitate tko je pravi krivac: Harry, Julie ili JP? I je li Carneyjeva predaja motivirana grižnjom savjesti ili je njegovo priznanje još jedan proračunat potez u toj smrtonosnoj igri?
