The Susan Effect

PETER HOEG

Publication: Harvill Secker, 2017, London

First UK edition. Signed by the author. Translated from the Danish by Martin Aitken. First published in Denmark in 2014. As new, unread copy in dust jacket. Susan Svendsen has an unusual talent. She is an expert in finding out secrets. People feel oddly compelled to confide in her, and unwittingly confess their innermost thoughts. Her whole life, she has exploited this talent, but now her family is in jeopardy and there is a prison sentence hanging over her head. Then Susan gets a timely offer from a former government official: use her power one more time and have all charges dropped. To get her life back, she must track down the last surviving members of a secret think tank, the Future Committee, and find out the details in their mysterious final report.
