| Summary: | "Acclaimed international bestseller William Boyd draws you deep into a shadow-drenched world where loyalty blurs, treachery abounds, and any misstep could be fatal. It is 1964, and Cold War Moscow is smoldering with secrets. Travel writer turned spy Gabriel Dax has been tasked with delivering a mysterious Blanco drawing to Kit Caldwell, the triple-agent and celebrated "defector" now leading the well-heeled life of a Hero of the Soviet Union. But Caldwell is convinced that the KGB suspects him of treachery. He wants Gabriel to do the impossible and smuggle him over the Russian border to Finland. When Gabriel is ordered to help by his enigmatic handler Faith Green, he is pulled into a web of shifting loyalties and dangerous escape plans. As tensions rise and trust fractures, he is forced to confront the fine line between devotion and deception. But which will he choose? In Cold Sunset, the third literary thriller starring reluctant spy and accidental hero Gabriel Dax, William Boyd again proves himself to be one of our most deft and exhilarating storytellers"-- Provided by publisher. |
