Night Heron
Autor Adam Brookesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iun 2015
Set
in
China,
and
ripped
from
today's
headlines,
comes
a
pulse-pounding
debut
that
reinvents
the
spy
thriller
for
the
21st
century.
A
lone
man,
Peanut,
escapes
a
labor
camp
in
the
dead
of
night,
fleeing
across
the
winter
desert
of
north-west
China.
Two
decades
earlier,
he
was
a
spy
for
the
British;
now
Peanut
must
disappear
on
Beijing's
surveillance-blanketed
streets.
Desperate
and
ruthless,
he
reaches
out
to
his
one-time
MI6
paymasters
via
crusading
journalist
Philip
Mangan,
offering
military
secrets
in
return
for
extraction.
But
the
secrets
prove
more
valuable
than
Peanut
or
Mangan
could
ever
have
known...
and
not
only
to
the
British.

"Night Heronis a wonderfully cinematic novel -- I felt myself visually transported into every scene, watching the action unfold -- that also immersed me in the sounds and smells and feel of China, all the while telling a rich, complex espionage story. A remarkable accomplishment."—Chris Pavone, author of international bestseller The Expats
