Who could have imagined Romand as a murderer? He was, after all, a noted physician at the World Health Organization, a groundbreaking researcher with connections to international humanitarians, a financial wizard entrusted with his in-laws' savings, a loving son who called his parents every evening. If there was a problem, no one knew it. As it turned out, there were Romand had no medical degree; he had no job; he knew no one famous; he had spent his in-laws' money. And when a relative went to break the terrible news about Romand's wife and children to his parents, they too were dead -- murdered by the stranger who had been their son.A mesmerizing account of the hundreds of daily lies that propelled one man's life, The Adversary -- another name for the Devil in the Bible -- is also a meditation on the mystery of identity, evil, and the desperate logic by which it is easier to kill than to confess.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emmanuel Carrère","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53093589090528,"sku":"9780773732773","price":59.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/01RmK_J4pJL._FMwebp_3715857d-8b05-48ad-809a-0ea4c0396ae2.webp?v=1781642833","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/the-adversary","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
