About the book
A thrilling debut that has been likened to John Le Carr and Raymond Chandler . . .
Paris, 2037. Alexandre Lamarque of the French external security service is hunting for eco-terrorists. Experience has taught him there is no one he can trust not his secretive lover Mariam, not even his old mentor, Professor Fayard, the man at the centre of the web. He is ready to give up. But he cant.
In search of the truth, Alex must follow the trail through an ominous spiral of events, from a string of brutal child murders to a chaotic coup in North Africa. He rapidly finds himself in a heart-thumping race against chaos and destruction. He could be the worlds only hope of preventing THE COMING DARKNESS . . .
"Superb there's an ominous drumbeat throughout, and pace and tension, and a subtle and scarily plausible dystopia and above all there's main character Alex Lamarque, who could be one of the greats. Greg Mosse writes like John Le Carr's hip grandson.
LEE CHILD
This is exactly the sort of big, meaty, ambitious thriller that the market needs. I havent read a book like this since I AM PILGRIM.
