Gerald Seymour

    25 novembre 1941

    Gerald Seymour est un célèbre romancier britannique dont l'œuvre puise profondément dans sa vaste expérience de correspondant à l'étranger. Ses récits se caractérisent par une intrigue complexe et un œil avisé sur les tensions géopolitiques et les opérations clandestines qui façonnent le monde moderne. Seymour mêle magistralement suspense et réalisme ancré, explorant souvent les motivations complexes des individus pris dans le feu croisé des conflits mondiaux. Sa transition du journalisme à l'écriture de fiction à temps plein a conféré à ses histoires une urgence authentique et un regard sans concession sur les conséquences du pouvoir.

      'Seymour produces the most intelligent writing in the thriller genre' Financial Times *** He had been to the limit. Then they sent him further. Gary - 'Gaz' - Baldwin is a watcher,not a killer. Operating with a special forces unit deep in Syria,he is to sit in a hide,observe a village, report back and leave. But the appalling atrocity he witnesses will change his life forever. Before long,he is living as a handyman on the Orkney islands,far from Syria,far from the army, not far enough from the memories that have all but destroyed him. 'Knacker' is one of the last old-school operators at the modern MI6 fortress on the Thames. He presides over the Round Table,a little group who meet in a pub and yearn for simpler, less bureaucratic times. When news reaches Knacker that the Russian officer responsible for the Syrian incident may be in Murmansk,northern Russia,he sets in motion a plan to kill him. It will involve a sleeper cell,a marksman and other resources - all unlikely to be sanctioned by the MI6 top brass, so it must be done off the books. But first,he will need a sure identification. And for that, he needs a watcher... Full of surprise,suspense and betrayal,Beyond Recall is a searching novel of moral complexity and a story of desperate survival.

      Two young men - Jago and Marcantonio - both studying business and finance: Jago is a kid from a rough part of London who has worked hard to get a job in a bank and is now on a fast-track secondment to the Berlin office. Marcantonio is one of the new generation in the 'Ndrangheta crime families from Calabria, Southern Italy. He is in Germany to learn how to channel their illicit millions towards legitimate businesses all over Europe. When Jago witnesses Marcantonio commit a vicious assault and the police seem uninterested, the Englishman refuses to let the matter drop. But by pursuing the gangster to his grandfather's mountain lair, Jago is stepping into the middle of a delicate surveillance operation, which sets alarm bells ringing in Rome, London and Berlin. It also leads him to Consolata, a young woman who sees in Jago the chance to turn her non-violent protest campaign against the crime families into something altogether more lethal... NO MORTAL THING is novel of relentless power and mounting suspense, a brilliant portrayal of organised crime in Europe and the under-resourced men and women who fight it.
