Death Will Have Your Eyes: A Novel about Spies
Autor James Sallisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 iul 2014
David
(as
he's
currently
known)
was
a
member
of
an
elite
corps
of
spies
trained
during
the
coldest
days
of
the
Cold
War.
For
almost
a
decade
he
has
been
out
of
the
game,
working
as
a
sculptor.
Then
a
phone
call
in
the
middle
of
the
night
awakens
him:
the
only
other
survivor
from
that
elite
corps
has
gone
rogue.
David
is
tasked
with
stopping
him.
What ensues is an existential cat-and-mouse game played out across the American landscape, through the diners and motels that dot the terrain like green plastic houses on a Monopoly board. Both a suspenseful novel of pursuit and a thematically rich exploration of the mind of a spy,Death Will Have Your Eyesis a contemporary classic of the espionage genre.

"Sallis is a superb writer and this is his best novel yet!"—Michael Moorcock
"This is a particularly fine post-Cold War espionage yarn cum road movie, whose best surprises are not to be found in the many twists along the way, but in the human touches dropped in by one of the most alive and alert writers of his generation."—Grant Stewart, Crime Time (UK)
