Description
xThe mind-bending sequel to the Times Thriller of the Year bestseller, This is the Night They Come for You. 'The world's greatest storyteller' Guardian
'Our finest practitioner of the double-cross plotting' Mick Herron
'Splendidly serpentine and immaculately plotted, this is British thriller writing at its very best' Daily Mail
__________ Trouble has a way of finding those those who spend most of their time trying to avoid it. Or so it appears to Superintendent Taleb, whose attempts to wind his career down to an unobtrusive retirement are once again in jeopardy. When delegated a television interview to discuss a thirty year old political controversy, his instructions are clear enough: whatever you say, do not rock the boat. But an inexplicable urge in the moment to tell the truth lands him in dangerously hot water. It also reopens some decades wounds which will bring him to the forefront of an investigation he is keen to avoid. Whether he likes it or not, the past is coming for him. And the past in Algeria is venomous, vengeful and relentless, quick to consume the unwary traveller. He will soon find himself staring down the barrel of a long buried mystery, which looks likely to add him to its lengthy roster of victims. This Is the Day They Dream Of is the scintillating sequel to the critically acclaimed This Is The Night They Come For You, which introduced the world-weary Taleb and his always resourceful colleague Agent Hidouchi of the Algerian Secret Service. Together they must navigate the country' treacherous history to save themselves from its perilous present.
_________ Praise for This is the Night They Come For You 'Truly ingenious' The Tablet
'Goddard sprinkles head-turning double-crossing with delightful by-play between his two leads' The Times
'Fast-paced, beautifully crafted with some excellently drawn characters... engages from start to finish' Choice Magazine
'Goddard writes amazing novels of mystery/suspense. His new one is magical and the title is simply the best' Stephen King
