A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

An interesting, unexpected thriller, this tries - and succeeds - to mix romance with the dark arts of espionage . . . Written with a flair for place and irony, it paints a very different portrait of the macho world of spooks than the one we're so often treated to, but is none the worse for that. Blessed with an edge-of-the-seat ending, Jenoff's third thriller is the antidote to Bond, leaving you stirred, if not shaken' DAILY MAIL ('Pam Jenoff has taken a new twist on the spy novel . . . if agent Jordan Weiss may not be exactly the next James Bond, . . . she may be a very credible, arguably more human, female alternative' THE TIMES)

Part thriller, part romance, Jenoff's story is a tidy package of secret financing, organised crime and a bit of stuff on the side' TIME OUT (‘A thrilling story, imaginatively told’ CHOICE)

Her best book yet . . . A credible and nail-biting story . . . The Officer's Lover is a real treat' LANCASHIRE EVENING POST ('...a masterly job of blending romance, friendship, loyalty, greed, spies, the political ambitions of the rich and powerful, and a bit of shady World War II history into a suspenseful and multilayered novel' LIBRARY JOURNAL)

Read this if you love an edge-of-the-seat thriller with a dash of romance...a killer of a novel!' NW MAGAZINE ('An enjoyable, pacy thriller' HERALD SUN)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A RICH AND STARTLING NOVEL ABOUT A WOMAN WHO MUST FACE A PAST SHE’D RATHER FORGET IN ORDER TO UNCOVER A DANGEROUS LEGACY THAT THREATENS HER FUTURE

Ten years ago, U.S. State Department intelligence officer Jordan Weiss’s idyllic experience as a graduate student at Cambridge was shattered when her boyfriend Jared drowned in the River Cam. She swore she’d never go back—until a terminally ill friend asks her to return. Jordan attempts to settle into her new life, taking on an urgent mission beside rakish agent Sebastian Hodges. Just when she thinks there’s hope for a fresh start, a former college classmate tells her that Jared’s death was not an accident—he was murdered.

Jordan quickly learns that Jared’s research into World War II had uncovered a shameful secret, but powerful forces with everything to lose will stop at nothing to keep the past buried. Soon, Jordan finds herself in grave peril as she struggles to find the answers that lie treacherously close to home, the truth that threatens to change her life forever, and the love that makes it all worth fighting for. Fast-paced and impossible to put down, Almost Home establishes Pam Jenoff as one of the best new writers in the genre.
