Just one year after the death of a John Le Carre, the great master of the spy genre, his first posthumous novel is coming to us. And it is that surely the drawer where every writer keeps the stories parked waiting for second chances, will overflow works in the case of the British genius. And there the heirs will go, recomposing unknown stories that, without the filter of their creator, can materialize for the general public.
The truth is that in this plot we can approach a more minimalist Le Carré, with a similar misty setting around characters and action but with a development that abounds in an infrequent psychological tension for its characters that hangs like the sword of Damocles. It never hurts to rediscover an iconic author like this in a novel that moves at a different pace ...
Julian Lawndsley has quit his demanding job in the City of London to lead a simpler life as a bookstore owner in a small seaside town. However, a couple of months after the inauguration, Julian's tranquility is interrupted by a visitor: Edward Avon, a Polish immigrant living in silverview, the large mansion on the outskirts of town, who seems to know a lot about Julian's family and shows an exaggerated interest in the inner workings of their modest business.
When a letter appears on the door of a high-ranking spy in London warning him of a dangerous leak, the investigations will lead him to this quiet city by the sea ... An extraordinary unpublished novel about a spy's duties to his country and private morals .
