Product Information

Once she’s in the post, she starts to discover details about Jean-Luc’s death that disturb her. Addled by the drugs she’s taking to deal with her anxieties and grief, unable to sleep in the permanent night, she wonders who she can trust. “Something is very wrong here, I realise. No… worse. Someone is very wrong here.” But Peston did lose his wife, Sian Busby, who died of cancer in 2012 and he writes as someone who has first-hand experience of the kind of grief that comes from seeing someone die tragically young. The UN actually put out a 2 hour press conference dealing with this book and said that everybody was being made to watch the film. I guess, since UN Peace Keepers, we find out from this movie are often almost completely uneducated, the UN couldn't tell them to read the book.

An excellent book set in the world of politics. The theme covers a situation of intrigue and dishonesty. The narrative is easy to follow and provides the reader with an insight to political events over decades without naming individuals. The character descriptions enable the reader to connect or relate with past parliamentarians. Having just expressed my conviction that the bio-pic is an evil thing, I come to an example that seems to work. May I say that cautiously.The author Robert Peston, may have wrote a novel based on what he knows, but he has weaved tragedy into the storyline.

I'm not the biggest fan of political thrillers, but I made 2021 the year of trying new things, and that also extended to genres of books I had either dismissed a few years ago or never really go in to in the first place. McDermid, who worked as a journalist in the 70s and 80s, gives a nail-biting account of the newsroom, and Allie is another character I’m looking forward to learning more about.Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a magician able to switch genres with ease. Her previous novel, Mexican Gothic, was a dark and brilliant slice of gothic fantasy; her latest, Velvet Was the Night, is a superb noir thriller set in Mexico City in the 70s following the student massacre known as “El Halconazo”. a b c Lacher, Irene (31 July 2011).

It's a compelling and maddening story, and reflects the complexity of how international institutions function and interact and the difficulty of accountability in a situation where people have immunity for their actions. But, it's also a story of gutsy people in tough and compromising situations making decisions that aren't in their personal best interest. [33]
