The Betrayers

Viac o knihe

In a small crumbling resort in the Crimea, two men meet after many years apart. Kotler has fled Jerusalem with his young lover after making a decision that has now cost him everything. Yet the other, Vladimir, would rather discuss the distant past: a long time ago, Kotler was betrayed and imprisoned - and now there must be a reckoning. With the world on his trail, Kotler would like nothing better than to hide. However, the consequences of decisions old and new return to haunt him . . . 'Impressive . . . alive to how reversals of fortune change individuals.' Sunday Times 'When was the last time you tore through a work of literary fiction at the rate of a Tom Clancy thriller?' The New York Times 'Taut, fierce, compulsive.' A. D. Miller 'As gripping as a political thriller, but probes issues of loyalty and betrayal more deeply than most thrillers ever aspire to do.'
