**SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2024** **INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** 'Imagine Slow Horsesâ€™ Jackson Lamb in the body of Jodie Comerâ€™s character in Killing Eve' SUNDAY TIMES 'Compulsively readable... Kill Bill written by John le CarrÃ©' OBSERVER Seductive and cunning American spy-for-hire Sadie Smith has been sent by her mysterious but powerful employers to a remote corner of France. Her mission: to infiltrate a commune of radical eco-activists influenced by the beliefs of an enigmatic elder, Bruno Lacombe, who has rejected civilisation, lives in a Neanderthal cave, and believes the path to enlightenment is a return to primitivism. Sadie casts her cynical eye over this region of ancient farms and sleepy villages, and finds Brunoâ€™s idealism laughable, but just as she is certain sheâ€™s the seductress and puppet master of those she surveils, Bruno Lacombe is seducing her with his ingenious counter-histories, his artful laments, his own tragic story. Beneath this a taut, dazzling story of espionage and intrigue lies one of a woman caught in the crossfire between the past and the future, and a profound treatise on human history. 'The most exciting writer of her generation' BRET EASTON ELLIS 'Reinvents the spy novel in one cool, erudite gesture' HERNAN DIAZ
