Children of Wolves - Lawrence Osborne - diskuze

'An unsettling, hypnotic meditation on violence and privilege' Charles CummingA tense, Ripley-esque novel set in glittering Istanbul for readers of John le Carré and Patricia Highsmith At the Mexican border, Diana ditches her car and jumps on a bus. Adam walks out of his Athens hotel with just his passport and credit cards. Marco abandons his life in London, leaving no note. At an idyllic spot on the Turkish Riviera, their comrade Chana waits for them. Also waiting there is Tyler, a private investigator hired by an American billionaire to find his wayward, troubled daughter. Once the five meet, a train of events is set in motion that will play out along this glittering coast, in the backstreets and renovated palaces of Istanbul and all the way to Cairo. A clash of generations, civilisations and ideologies that will test the young friends’ theory that a handful of collaborators can tilt the axis of the world through a single, striking act.
