Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Scandinavian fiction has recently become very popular here in the USA. Personally, I have been intrigued and fascinated by the likes of such authors as Jo Nesbø, Stieg Larsson,and especially Karl Ove Knausgaard. Consequently, I opened this book with pretty high expectations and sadly was a bit disappointed. Just didn't grab me the way I was expecting. This is Joacim Zanders first novel and I will say, he definitely has potential. Una tórrida noche en Damasco a principios de los años ochenta. Un agente estadounidense abandona a su bebé a un destino incierto, una traición que jamás se perdonará y que será el comienzo de una huida de sí mismo. Hasta que ya no se pueda esconder de la verdad. Hasta que se vea obligado a tomar una decisión crucial. Treinta años después, Klara Walldéen, una joven sueca que trabaja en el Parlamento Europeo de Bruselas, se ve envuelta en una trama de espionaje a nivel internacional en la que está implicado su antiguo amante y exmiembro de las fuerzas especiales del ejército sueco, Mahmoud Shammosh. De la noche a la mañana, Klara y Mahmoud se convierten en el objetivo de una cacería que se desarrolla por la Europa invernal, un mundo donde las fronteras entre países se han vuelto igual de borrosas que la línea que separa a aliado y enemigo, verdad y mentira, pasado y presente.

"A deep-cover CIA agent races across Europe to save the daughter he never knew... In the end, you cannot hide who you are. Klara Walldéen was raised by her grandparents on a remote archipelago in the Baltic Sea, learning to fish and hunt and sail a boat through a storm. Now, as an EU Parliament aide in Brussels, she is learning how to navigate the treacherous currents of international politics: the lines between friend and enemy, truth and lies. But Klara has accidentally seen something she shouldn't have: a laptop containing information so sensitive that someone will kill to keep hidden. Suddenly, she is thrown into a terrifying chase across Europe, with no idea who is hunting her or why. Meanwhile, in Virginia, an old spy hides from his past. Once, he was a man of action, an operative so dedicated that he abandoned his infant daughter to keep his cover. Now, he is the only man who can save Klara . . . and she is the only woman who can allow him to lay old ghosts to rest" -- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Author writes in a manner that looks like a cross between Le Carre and Frederick Forsythe (Gerald Seymour and Olen Steinheuer also belong to this list) - details are there, planning and execution but also private issues, fears and stress induced problems of main characters.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who likes good spy fiction. ( )
