They are instructed to pursue a former agent, now on the run after twenty years in prison for his part in a high-level corruption scandal. But their search will lead them inexorably towards a greater mystery, surrounding a murder that took place in Paris more than fifty years ago.Uncovering the truth may be his responsibility, but Taleb is well aware that no-one in Algeria wants to be reminded of the dark deeds carried out in the struggle for independence - or in the violence that has racked the nation since. Before long, he will face a choice he has long sought to avoid, between self-preservation and doing the right thing.And, ultimately, the choice may not even be his to make.A pulse-pounding, breathless crime thriller, perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz's Hawthorne series, Robert Galbraith's Cormoran Strike series and LJ Ross's Alexander Gregory thrillers.The new novel from Robert Goddard, THE FINE ART OF UNCANNY PREDICTION, is available now.________________________________Praise for Robert Goddard'The world's greatest storyteller' Guardian'One of the finest crime writer of any generation' Daily Mail'Our finest practitioner of double-crossing plotting' Mick Herron
