Nel college di Kirkston Abbey era accaduto qualcosa di sinistro. A scatenare forze distruttive nel tempio della migliore borghesia era stata la strana amicizia tra due studenti: il fragile Jonathan, vittima dei compagni e dei professori, e il diabolico Richard, dotato di un carisma ai limiti dell'umano. Erano come le due metà di una cosa sola, ed era destino che diventassero inseparabili. Poi un gioco malefico aveva preso loro la mano... Dopo tanti anni, l'unico testimone sopravvissuto a quegli eventi ha deciso di liberarsi la coscienza dal peso di una verità insostenibile. Ma il mondo è pronto ad ascoltarlo?

In the bleak winter term of 1954 something terrible happens at Kirkston Abbey School for Boys. Forty years later a journalist hovers near the truth, buried long ago by the panicked authorities. Kirkston Abbey is no place for the weak: its rules are harsh and its discipline savage. So the struggling Jonathan Palmer cannot believe his luck when Richard Rokeby - tough, handsome, aloof - befriends him. But Rokeby's possessive friendship is suffocating and, what starts out as an innocent game amongst friends, takes a shocking turn as Palmer finds himself powerless to stop Rokeby from unleashing a horrifying fate on them all. A brilliantly clever psychological thriller, The Wishing Game launched Redmond to his bestseller status.
