Bulgarian Books

One unforgettable night marks the beginning of a scandalous romance.

I got the chance to fly first class from London to New York. The food, the champagne, the service - everything was impeccable, but it couldn't even compare to the man sitting next to me. With intelligent blue eyes and a killer self-confidence, he was the reason the flight was truly a first-class experience. And when it turned out that we couldn't land in New York and had to spend the night in Boston, we just stayed together. It was the kind of night that leaves memories for a lifetime.

It happened twelve months ago and I haven't heard anything from him since. Until today.

On my first day at my new job, I met the owner of the company. You can imagine my surprise when those blue eyes darted at me over the mahogany desk. Such looks have no place in the office.

But do they have a place in my life?

And this victim sends Scarpetta a message...

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR (2022)

A dark, deeply humane story about a man haunted by his past and the looming shadows of his guilt.

It's three in the morning and Bobby Western puts on his diving suit to dive into the wreckage of a plane that crashed into the ocean. Most of the bodies are there, but he finds a missing passenger whose trail no one wants to follow. However, the real abyss is not under the water, but inside Bobby himself...

As he delves deeper into the mysteries of the disaster, the young man is forced to confront another, even more painful story - the tragedy of his brilliant sister Alicia. Reality and hallucination, love and destruction, guilt and longing intertwine in a double spiral of mystery and despair.

The Passenger is the first part of a two-volume masterpiece that Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy (1933-2023) wrote toward the end of his life.
