Napísať kvalitný špionážny román je podľa mňa veľmi náročné. Ide o špecifický žáner, kde sa vyskytuje množstvo detailov, na ktoré striehnu pozorné oči čitateľov.

IN A WORLD OF LIES, ONE MAN WANTS THE TRUTH
Fearing for his life, journalist Philip Mangan has gone into hiding from the Chinese agents who have identified him as a Western spy. His reputation and life are in tatters. But when he is caught in a terrorist attack in East Africa and a shadowy Chinese figure approaches him in the dead of night with information on the origins of the attack, Mangan is suddenly back in the eye of the storm.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on a humid Hong Kong night, a key British Intelligence source is murdered minutes after meeting spy Trish Patterson. From Washington, D.C. to the hallowed halls of Oxford University and dusty African streets, a sinister power is stirring which will use Mangan and Patterson as its pawns -- if they survive.
Deeply steeped in tension and paranoia, Adam Brookes's follow-up to his award-nominated debut is a remarkable, groundbreaking spy thriller.
