Gabriel's Moon

by Boyd William

  

€ 26.00 

ISBN: 9782021589467

Language: French

In the early 1960s, Gabriel Dax, a renowned travel writer, conducted an interview in Congo with Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, who admitted to fearing for his life. Back in London, Gabriel learned of his assassination. Contacted by Faith Green, a mysterious MI6 agent, he soon fell under her spell and became her spy, her "useful idiot," plunging into a labyrinth of duplicity and betrayal. The missions followed one after another across Europe, Cadiz one day, Warsaw the next, punctuated by disturbing encounters.

While the tapes recorded of Gabriel's interview with Lumumba piqued the interest of some, the confrontation between the Americans and the Soviets against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis raised fears of a third world war. Unfolding the twists and turns of a complex plot, alternating between misleading clues and false coincidences, William Boyd here combines the spy novel genre with the virtuoso art of storytelling. The result is spectacular. Translated from English by Isabelle Perrin
