• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A naked, burning man runs up a hill of rubble on the last day of the Second World War in Berlin. In one hand are fragments of a white flower and he whispers "Ich liebe Sie alle," I love you all. He is saved by a young Irish-American colonel, Kells. Certain the man with no identity or memory will die, Kells gives him the name 'Hyman Kaplan' who Kells, as part of Operation Lucy, has been sent to kill because, absurdly, Hyman is part of Lucy, and Lucy kills her own to remain secure. Pickering's new novel is a sensationally readable tale of intrigue, sex, horrific killings, and sacrifice.

Autorenporträt

Paul Pickering is the author of six novels: Wild About Harry, Perfect English, The Blue Gate of Babylon, Charlie Peace, The Leopard's Wife and Over the Rainbow. The Blue Gate of Babylon was a New York Times notable book of the year, who dubbed it 'superior literature'. Often compared to Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh, Pickering was chosen as one of the top ten young British novelists by bookseller WH Smith and has been long-listed for the Booker Prize three times. The novelist J.G. Ballard said Pickering's work is 'truly subversive'. As well as short stories and poetry, he has written several plays, film scripts and columns for The Times and Sunday Times.
