Sobre este áudio
A masterly locked-room mystery set in a near-future Orwellian state.
The year is 2037, and on the tiny island of Isola, seven people have been selected to compete in a 48-hour test for a top-secret intelligence position with the totalitarian Union of Friendship. One of them is Anna Francis, a workaholic bureaucrat with a nine-year-old daughter she rarely sees and a secret that haunts her. Her assignment: to stage her own death and then to observe, from her hiding place inside the walls of the house, how the six other candidates react to the news that a murderer is among them. Who will take control? Who will crack under pressure? But then a storm rolls in, the power goes out, and the real game begins....
Combining suspense, unexpected twists, psychological gamesmanship, and a sinister dystopian future, The Dying Game conjures a world in which one woman is forced to ask, "Can I save my life by staging my death?"

“A deliciously creepy novel revolving around a terrific paradigm shift: The job you think you’re doing? That’s not the job you’re really doing.” (Chris Pavone, New York Times best-selling author of The Expats)
“Agatha Christie meets George Orwell in journalist Avdic’s unsettling first novel.... Avdic not only constructs a fascinating and original plot but makes her imagined reality chillingly plausible.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
“A high-stakes test of survival and betrayal . . . Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None crossed-pollinated with The Most Dangerous Game.... An unsettling portrait of our possible future.” (Kirkus Reviews)
