In time she becomes his lover—then she inexplicably disappears. When Michael next sees her, he is a young law student, and she is on trial for a hideous crime. As he watches her refuse to defend her innocence, Michael gradually realizes that Hanna may be guarding a secret she considers more shameful than murder.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375707972\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0375707972.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bernhard Schlink|Carol Brown Janeway\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
