Victor van der Steen Boeken

Stark lives in Colour, a neighbourhood whose inhabitants like to be co-ordinated with their surroundings – a neighbourhood where spangly purple trousers are admired by the walls of buildings as you pass them. Close by is Sound, where you mustn’t make any, apart from one designated hour a day when you can scream your lungs raw. Then there’s Red – get off at Fuck Station Zero if you want to see a tactical nuclear battle recreated as a sales demonstration. Stark has friends in Red, which is just as well because Something is about to happen. And when a Something happens it’s no good chanting ‘Duck and cover’ while cowering in a corner, because a Something is always from the past, Stark’s past, and it won’t go away until you face it full on.

From the author of the classic espionage saga, The Brotherhood of the Rose, comes a compelling novel of intrigue and second chances. After an ex-spy lowers his guard and falls in love, his lover’s house explodes and she flees with a stranger. He learns that she has a mysterious past and that she knows he worked for the CIA. Was she only using him to protect her? He sets out to find the truth.

Om een belofte aan een oude vriendin in te lossen zet een speciaal getrainde geheim agent zijn eigen leven op het spel.
