U nás dosud nepublikované dílo britského romanopisce a esejisty Grahama Greena (1904-1991) je strhujícím příběhem odehrávajícím se ve Francii za druhé světové války a těsně po ní. Do přeplněné cely německého vězení kdesi na francouzském okupovaném území přichází důstojník wermachtu, aby třicítce vězňů oznámil hrůzný verdikt: každý desátý obyvatel cely bude následujícího rána zastřelen. Losování, které vězni zvolí, rozehraje krutou hru odkrývající absurditu i osudovost jednání člověka v bezvýchodné situaci. Hořká existenciální novela s detektivními prvky, která vychází česky poprvé, v sobě nese všechny typické rysy autorova literárního světa. S ironickým odstupem tematizuje paradoxní jednání člověka v hraniční situaci, osudové selhání a následný průchod spletitým labyrintem lidského svědomí ústící až k tragickému rozuzlení.
