The Dealer and the Dead - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

"The three British masters of suspense, Graham Greene, Eric Ambler, and John le Carre, have been joined by a fourth-Gerald Seymour." -New York Times

The Dealer and the Dead is the newest heart-pounding thriller from international bestselling author Gerald Seymour, the "best spy novelist ever" (Philadelphia Inquirer)

Sometimes surviving a war can almost seem worse than dying in it.
Vukovar, 1991--a small Croatian village near the Serbian border. In a moonlit field, the villagers await an arms shipment they need to make a last-ditch fight against the advancing Serbs. The promised delivery never comes, and the village is overrun.
Eighteen years later, a body is unearthed from a field, and with it the identity of the arms dealer who betrayed them. Now the villagers can plot their revenge.
In leafy England, Harvey Gillot regards himself a man of his world. There is only one blemish on his record, and that was all a long time ago. But Gillot, his family, his friends and his enemies are about to be pitched into a sequence of events that will unfold across Europe with breath-taking drama and almost biblical power.
Harvey Gillott is about to find out what happens when the hand of the past reaches out to the present-and it's holding a gun.
