Produktbeschreibung
Pascual is a marked man lying low. In the 1980s, he was a courier for a network of radical groups that spread terror across Europe in the name of separatism and liberation. That is, until he defected to the Mossad and CIA, selling out his former comrades save one-his old flame, the beautiful Katixa. Then he vanished along with his new identity into the streets of Barcelona, his childhood home. Sleeping in flophouses and living hand to mouth, Pascual spends his days trying to atone for his sins among the city's teeming alleys and taverns. He keeps a low profile, hiding from old associates looking to exact revenge. But just when he thinks he's finally shed his past, Katixa bursts back into his life with a suitcase full of cash hijacked from an ETA kidnapping, looking for a one-way ticket out of Spain-with Pascual. His better judgment doesn't stand a chance. To redeem both their lives, Pascual dusts off his old skills of subterfuge and deceit and goes on the run with Katixa, dodging ETA hitmen and the police in a nerve-wracking headlong race for survival. But nothing is what it seems, and betrayals lurk at every turn. When Pascual realizes that everyone is lying to him, the crying and the dying cannot be far behind.

Autorenporträt
Dominic Martell was born in the United States and has spent most of his life there, but he has lived and traveled extensively in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. He has worked as a teacher and a translator. Lying crying dying is the first of three novels originally published in the 1990s featuring repentant ex-terrorist Pascual March, chronicling his quest for atonement in the chaotic early years of the post-Cold War period. A quarter of a century later, in the transformed landscape of the even more chaotic post-9/11 digitally connected world, Martell began to wonder what had become of Pascual and brought him out of retirement in a new novel, Kill Chain (Dunn Books), the first of Pascual's twenty-first-century misadventures.
