The Distance

Autor Helen Giltrow
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 2015
Charlotte Alton is an elegant London socialite. But behind the locked doors of her sleek, fortified apartment, she becomes Karla, a fixer who specializes in creating and erasing identities, and can cover any criminal s tracks. Only a few people in the world know her secret.
One of them is Simon Johanssen, a killer-for-hire who resurfaces years after she helped him to quietly disappear with an impossible job. He needs access to a high-security, experimental prison colony in order to assassinate an inmate. The catch: there s no record of the target s existence, and what s worse, the criminal boss from whom he s been hiding is inside, too. The trap has been set, but who is the real target Johanssen or Karla herself?"

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
A blistering debut thriller that introduces the coolest heroine in contemporary suspense fiction.

'Fast, hard and very, very good' Lee Child

'A truly unusual thriller set in the world of espionage, this is a terrific debut... Original and thought-provoking' Sunday Mirror

They don't call her Karla anymore. She's Charlotte Alton: she doesn't trade in secrets, she doesn't erase dark pasts, and she doesn't break hit-men into prison.

Except that is exactly what she's been asked to do.

The job is impossible: get the assassin into an experimental new prison so that he can take out a target who isn't officially there.

It's a suicide mission, and quite probably a set-up.

So why can't she say no?

Recenzii

A truly unusual thriller set in the world of espionage, this is a terrific debut... Original and thought-provoking
Fast, hard and very, very good
An effective writer of colourful prose and generates plenty of narrative tension.
It's a dark, pacy, compelling and utterly uncompromising tale about people trying to outrun their respective demons.
A gripping story skillfully told... Helen Giltrow writes so well that every word carries weight
THE DISTANCE is absolutely drenched in mystery and intrigue, and I was completely hooked. In a sort of 'Prison Break' meets 'Spooks' sort of storyline, the action just keeps on coming and as one secret is uncovered, several more take its place . . . an extremely clever plot and a proper edge-of-your-seat read.
Dark, edgy and, at times, brutal, this is a stylish and highly original debut.
It's an extremely well executed novel, weaving a complicated storyline involving a lot of moving parts, multiple characters and locations with utter ease. The ending will have you holding your breath and whipping those pages past at speed.
The story reads like a Lee Child novel on speed - there's loads of action, loads of intrigue and the characters are extremely well-written. In short, this is simply a brilliant book
This is a thriller that leads from the front with a cool heroine who never seems to break sweat.
The Distance is a fine debut from Helen Giltrow. It is an extremely tense and menacing novel, rich in atmosphere and mood as well as confident and intelligent. It is full of shocks, surprises and twists. If you enjoy a clever spy novel then The Distance is most definitely the book for you.
