A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Praise for The Trinity Six:

An utterly absorbing and compelling novel. A brilliant re-imagining of events surrounding the notorious Cambridge spy-ring William Boyd, bestselling author of Restless

An absolutely terrific thriller. It's going to make Charles Cumming a star Jeff Abbott, bestselling author of Panic

Charles Cumming more than lives up to his growing reputation as one of the finest young espionage novelists writing today. With admirable style and enviable craft, he breathes new life into the well-examined case of the Cambridge Spy Ring, making it compelling to old hands and new readers alike Joe Finder

A stunning stand-alone ... Cumming's knowledge of the spy business, his well-crafted prose, and his intensely engaging plot make this a breakthrough novel Publishers Weekly

Taut, atmospheric and immersive an instant classic ... Cumming's novel is characterized by a gripping sense of realism ... The result is absolutely gripping Kirkus Reviews

The Trinity Six breathes new life into Cold War spy fiction, updating the genre for today's Spooks generation. It's nuanced, intriguing, beautifully paced and utterly thrilling Jon Stock

Cumming expertly orchestrates his score ... His plotting and his language are powerfully engaging. Spy fiction fans will enjoy the ingenious plot with well-developed characters, a keen sense of time and place, an undercurrent of fear, and plenty of gore Library Journal Reviews

Praise for Charles Cumming:

From the first page to the last it has the ring of absolute authenticity. Tautly written, cleverly plotted...it reminded me strongly of the early books of John le Carré Robert Harris

The master of the modern spy thriller Mail On Sunday

If Cumming keeps up this standard he deserves to become an institution in his own right The Times

A cracking good spy thriller. Cumming knows his stuff and writes as well as le Carré... Daily Mail

A wholly compelling and sophisticated spy novel vivid and disturbing immaculately researched and full of harrowing contemporary relevance William Boyd, author of Restless

Not since The Honourable Schoolboy has there been a satisfactory spy novel about Britain's relationship with China. Typhoon, with its deep plotting, flawed characters, climactic conclusion and undercurrent of mistrust is another step in the footprints of the master The Times [Top Ten Thrillers of 2008]

It's hard to pull off the combination of thriller and romance but Cumming does it seamlessly plus he's working on a big canvas. He has already established his reputation with his modern take on the spy novel but here he vaults to another level. Great stuff The Observer

Cumming has clearly researched widely and his portrayal of life among China's louche foreign community is particularly convincing, if depressing. This novel adds to his reputation as one of the UK's best young espionage writers Daily Telegraph

--Publisher's Weekly, Library Journal Review, and The Times

Présentation de l'éditeur

Europe is still littered with the darkest secrets of the Cold War. And the most deadly revelation of them all is about to be made...

Hard-up Russia expert Dr Sam Gaddis finally has a lead for a book that could set his career back on track. He has staggering new information about an unknown sixth member of the infamous Cambridge spy ring a man who has evaded detection for his entire life.

But when his source suddenly dies, Gaddis is left with just shreds of his investigation, and no idea that he is already in too deep. He is threatened, betrayed, hunted and alone. To get his life back, he must scour a continent still laced with lies to find the truth behind the Trinity Six.

Both Moscow and MI6 will use everything in their power to keep their fragile peace intact. But why murder people to hide secrets that should by now be history? Gaddis starts to understand far too late that he is closing in on a discovery that will shake Europe to its foundations...
