About the Book

Eve was dead. This much journalist Bazil Potter distinctly understood. Until the evening when he sees her on the TV news, in a clip filmed in Budapest, the city where she died. A clip all recordings of which are swiftly destroyed on the orders of government, the government Eve worked for. He may have no proof, but Bazil knows what he saw and he knows it was Eve.

Because no man forgets his wife.

So begins Bazil's journey of discovery. A journey that takes him back to Budapest, a city still tormented by memories of Soviet oppression, a city where shady diplomats and ruthless gangsters lie at the heart of a story Bazil knows he will never be allowed to tell, the city where his parents were born and where he buried his wife. Or at least what was found of her in the Danube.

A single, severed hand.

International praise for David Brierley
Tough...witty...in the best tradition of suspense fiction.
New Yorker
Super skilled graft of fiction onto history...an authentic winner.
Sunday Times
Unusual, exotic and tantalising.
Irish Times
Has the rancid strength of a distillation of the best of Le Carré and Deighton: an authentic winner.
Sunday Times
In the top flight of thriller writers.
Natal Mercury
Smashing action scenes...superb entertainment.
New York Times Book Review
Espionage in the le Carré class
The Observer
Brierley's style is first class, and his evocation of external bleakness...is superb.
The Jerusalem Post
One is definitely hooked from the first page
BBC French Service
Written with all the sly cynicism of the spy world, along with some wonderful descriptions of a country coming to terms with a changing present while living with memories of a cruel history, this is Brierley's first novel in more than twenty years and an elegant reminder of what a fine writer he is.
Mike Ripley's Book of the Month, Shots Crime & Thriller eZine
