"Who are you? Are you the police? This isn't legal, you know. You can't hold me like this."In a near-future dystopian Britain, democracy has been undermined. Emboldened by new anti-terrorism laws, police start to disappear people from the streets for unspecified crimes. But when unassuming dentist Arthur Priestley is snatched and held prisoner at a top-secret facility, his estranged wife, Julia, and a brave but naive journalist named Tom Clarke embark on a harrowing quest for the truth. Following a trail that leads to the very top of government, they soon find themselves fighting for their lives. Well-crafted, fast-paced, and totally compelling, The Facility is a brilliant thriller that resonates eerily with the timbre of our times.
