內容簡介

The master of cold war espionage fiction returns with a tale of intrigue and suspense set in post-Soviet Latvia. When wine-merchant Matt Clough learns that the father he never knew has died, he sets out to discover the truth of his father’s past. What he finds is a secret that will mean great riches, or sudden death.

England, 2001. Matt Clough is an ordinary English wine-merchant, approaching middle age with no family and no great ambition. An orphan. An ex-spy.

Latvia, 2001. Krisjanis Kulbergs is far from ordinary. Ex-spy. Double agent. Master of the triple-cross. Guilty of just about every crime or sin the twentieth century had to offer. He is the unknown father of English wine-merchant Matt Clough. He is also dead.

When Clough learns of the death of a father he never knew, he travels to Latvia to uncover the secrets of his father’s life and his own inheritance. The Cold War has been over for a decade, but some men still keep secrets so great that old spies from both sides of the divide will go to any lengths to get hold of them.

Including murder.

International praise for David Brierley
Tough...witty...in the best tradition of suspense fiction.
New Yorker
Super skilled graft of fiction onto history...an authentic winner.
Sunday Times
Unusual, exotic and tantalising.
Irish Times
Has the rancid strength of a distillation of the best of Le Carré and Deighton: an authentic
winner.

Sunday Times
In the top flight of thriller writers.
Natal Mercury
Smashing action scenes...superb entertainment.
New York Times Book Review
Espionage in the le Carré class
The Observer
Brierley’s style is first class, and his evocation of external bleakness...is superb.
The Jerusalem Post
One is definitely hooked from the first page
BBC French Service
Written with all the sly cynicism of the spy world, along with some wonderful descriptions of a country coming to terms with a changing present while living with memories of a cruel history, this is Brierley’s first novel in more than twenty years and an elegant reminder of what a fine writer he is.
Mike Ripley’s Book of the Month, Shots Crime & Thriller eZine
