Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Synopsis
Like "The Lovely Bones" and "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," Cammie McGoverns breakout novel is at once a hypnotic thriller and an affecting portrait of people as real as our next-door neighbors. In "Eye Contact," two children vanish in the woods behind their elementary school. Hours later, nine-year-old Adam is found alive, the sole witness to his playmates murder. But because Adam has autism, he is a silent witness. Only his mother, Cara, can help decode his behavior for the police. As the suspense ratchets, "Eye Contact" becomes a heart-stopping exploration of the bond between a mother and a very special child., Adam, a nine-year-old autistic boy, is discovered hiding near the body of his classmate. They had wandered away from the school playground hours earlier, and now Adam is the only witness to an appalling crime. But he can't tell the police what he saw or heard. Barely verbal on the best of days, Adam has retreated into the silent world that Cara, his mother, knows well. With her community in shock and her son unable to help with the investigation, Cara tries to decode the puzzling events. Adam has never broken the rules before, so why did he disappear with the little girl? Cara, a single mother, has devoted her life to opening paths of communication between her son and the outside world. Now, she must interpret the changes in Adam's behavior to help him through the trauma, and to catch a killer., Like The Lovely Bones and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time , Cammie McGovern's breakout novel is at once a hypnotic thriller and an affecting portrait of people as real as our next-door neighbors.
