Synopsis
The Sunday Times Paperback of The Year 2023.
In this novel, the bestselling author of Munich and V2 tells the story of the greatest manhunt of the seventeenth century.
'From what is it they flee?' He took a while to reply.
By the time he spoke the men had gone inside. He said quietly, 'They killed the King.'
1660 . . . General Edward Whalley and Colonel William Goffe, father- and son-in-law, cross the Atlantic. They are on the run and wanted for the murder of Charles I. Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, they have been found guilty in absentia of high treason.
In London, Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, is tasked with tracking down the fugitives. He'll stop at nothing until the two men are brought to justice. A reward of £100 hangs over their heads - for their capture, dead or alive.
Act of Oblivion is an epic journey across continents, and a chase like no other. It is the thrilling new novel by Robert Harris.

'The master of the intelligent thriller' - The Daily Telegraph.
'Harris writes with a skill and ingenuity that few other novelists can match' - The Financial Times.
'I have been waiting for most of my life for Robert Harris to write a novel that is not gripping, insightful and entertaining. I am waiting still' - Ben Macintyre, The Times.
'This is an outstanding book, exceptionally well researched, although written as a novel contains all factual information on the adventures of two ex soldiers running for their lives. You will enjoy this book on several levels. Mr Harris demonstrates his full range of skills bringing together several plot lines into one cohesive story. As always his character development is superb, his writing style outstanding.' - Goodreads Review.
'His best since Fatherland' - The Times.
'A master storyteller' - The Observer.
'An important book for our particular historical moment' - The Guardian.
