Er ist Englands goldener Sohn. Niemand weiß, was - oder wen - er verbirgt.
Marcus Ainsley hat alles: die Kapitänsbinde, die Sponsoren, die Hoffnung eines ganzen Landes auf seinen Schultern. Was ihm fehlt, ist der eine Titel, der ihn vervollständigen würde - verloren in einem WM-Halbfinale, entschieden durch einen einzigen, verheerenden Moment, den er bis heute nicht ganz begreift.
Dann verliert er alles andere. Wochen nach diesem Finale stirbt seine Jugendliebe bei einem Unfall - und lässt Marcus zurück: äußerlich unversehrt, innerlich ausgehöhlt, unter einem Lächeln, das ein ganzes Land noch immer von ihm erwartet.
Julian Cole hat Jahre damit verbracht, zwei Versionen von sich selbst zu erschaffen - den Finanzhai am Trading-Desk, den durchtrainierten Fitness-Influencer im Netz - weil das leichter ist, als der Mann zu sein, der einmal neun Jahre lang jemanden geliebt und viel zu früh verloren hat. So etwas tut er nicht noch einmal. Er will keine zweite große Liebe. Sich das zu wünschen, fühlt sich an, als würde man das Schicksal herausfordern.
Dann bringt eine Gala - geboren aus Marcus' Trauer - die beiden in denselben Raum. Und Julian ist der Erste, der ihm kein Mitleid vorspielt. Er sieht ihn einfach.
Der eine glaubt, Schweigen sei es, was die Menschen schützt, die er liebt.
Der andere glaubt, eine Liebe dieser Größe sei eine Schuld, die das Schicksal immer eintreibt.
Zwei Trauerprozesse. Ein Geheimnis, das Marcus nicht einmal sich selbst eingestehen kann. Und eine Saison, die entscheidet, ob einer von beiden mutig genug ist, sich halten zu lassen.
Für alle, die Heated Rivalry nicht aus der Hand legen konnten - und für alle, die Extra Time zerrissen und wieder zusammengesetzt hat: Second Half ist das Offsiders-Buch, das endlich fragt, was nach dem Titel, nach den Schlagzeilen bleibt, wenn ein Mann lernen muss, sich selbst etwas zu wünschen.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AussieBookSeller, Truganina, Victoria, Australia, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
