About the book: year / Paul Matry, already an adult, learns news that radically turns his life upside down: it turns out that his father is serving a sentence in prison for the brutal murder of a girl... From this moment on, Paul faces only one question: is his father really guilty and how to find the true causes and circumstances of a tragedy that has long been forgotten by everyone? He has to unravel a 15-year-old case... Henry Page is the editor and owner of the Northern Light newspaper, which has become a kind of local tradition in a small town. Over the course of five generations, the newspaper gradually acquired a strong reputation for integrity, objectivity and conscientiousness in the selection of material. And now a powerful newspaper trust wants to buy it. But Henry does not want to sell the newspaper and devotes all his strength to fighting the ruthless monopoly in order to preserve his faith, his family and even his life itself. "Erased from Life" and "Northern Light" are written in the magnificent narrative tradition of such Cronin novels as "Castle Brodie", "Keys of the Realm", "The Citadel"».
