Maggiori informazioni sul libro
'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.
