Opis

Two men meet on a park bench in Jerusalem: a politician, on the eve of a controversial stand against his government, and a Mossad agent, sent to dissuade him with the threat of blackmail. Neither backs down. Escaping the furore he's unleashed, the politician and his lover make for a seaside resort on the Black Sea to lie low. But the fierce battle between political principles and personal loyalties has followed them to this Russian backwater, and a shocking encounter awaits them.

Recenzje

Gripping from the outset, as tightly structured as an intense theatrical experience, this is brilliant writing. Kotler - uncompromising and comprised - is a fascinating, provocative figure Tom Rob Smith
