Where Dead Men Meet de Mark Mills

Where Dead Men Meet

Autor Mark Mills
en Limba Engleză Hardback

A return to the period adventure thriller in Where Dead Men Meet reestablishes Mark Mills as a master storyteller for fans of William Boyd, Charles Cumming, or Robert Harris.

Paris, 1937. Luke Hamilton--a junior air intelligence officer at the British Embassy--finds himself the target of an assassination attempt. A clear case of mistaken identity--or so it first appears. As Luke is hunted across a continent sliding toward war, he comes to learn that the answers lie deep in a past that predates his abandonment as a baby on the steps of an orphanage twenty-five years ago.

From the author of the bestselling The Savage Garden, and set against a terrific backdrop of Europe on the cusp of the Second World War, this is a compelling novel, rich in adventure, espionage, secrets, and lies.

Recenzii

Reminiscent of Eric Ambler's brilliant thrillers... Where Dead Men Meet is a well-told, exciting story
Mills keeps the pages turning
Secrets, lies and nail-biting moments feature in the fine storytelling
Elegantly plotted... superb period drama
Handling the twists and turns of his plot with cool dexterity
WHERE DEAD MEN MEET is a grand adventure, in the tradition of Graham Greene's 'entertainments,' and John Buchan's before that - a sweeping race through Europe for the highest possible stakes, in the year before the Anschluss. Here's hoping it's only the first of many exploits for Luke and Pippi
Believable characters, a richly detailed historical setting, and a story that keeps the reader's attention glued until the final page
