Description
Graham Greene's The Tenth Man is one of his most startling and unexpected major novels. Set in wartime occupied France, it is about a man who buys a life in a moment of fear. It begins in the depths of a Gestapo prison, where ten men have been taken hostage by the Germans. Three of them must die, but it makes no difference to the Germans which three - the ten must choose among themselves by ballot.
