Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

October, 1969. Moscow. Paul Dark is a broken man. A terrible mistake twenty-four years ago led to him being recruited into Soviet intelligence, but he has paid a heavy price for it. Now locked up in a cell, distrusted even by those he once served, Dark has nothing for company but the ghosts of his past when he is woken in the early hours and taken to a secret location. There, he discovers that the Soviets believe they are about to face a nuclear attack by the West -- and are planning to strike first as a result. Dark realizes at once that the truth of the matter involves the final days of the Second World War, and the final mission he undertook as a loyal British agent.
Now the fate of the entire world rests on the shoulders of one man: a traitor long past his best, who is soon the subject of a massive man-hunt in one of the most repressive regimes in history. Dark needs to make it to a small island in the Baltic before it's too late -- and the clock is ticking.

Revue de presse :

PRAISE FOR THE PAUL DARK TRILOGY:
* 'A wholly engrossing and sophisticated spy novel . . . Fascinating and compelling' William Boyd
* 'A retro-cool romp as spare of prose as it is cleverly convoluted of plot. He has ingeniously caught both the spirit of an era and the spirit of the books which made that era the golden age of spy fiction' Telegraph
* 'Deep knowledge of espionage and classic spy novels informs this excellent debut'
Guardian
