Forthcoming books to look forward to from Bloomsbury
The Geneva Trap is the latest book in the series to feature Liz Carlyle by Stella
Rimington and is due to be published in July 2012. Geneva, 2012.
When a Russian intelligence officer approaches MI5 with vital
information about the imminent cyber-sabotage of an Anglo-American Defence
programme, he refuses to talk to anyone but Liz Carlyle. But who is he, and what is his connection to
the British agent? At a tracking station
in Nevada, US Navy officers watch in horror as one of their unmanned drones
plummets out of the sky, and panic spreads through the British and American
Intelligence services. Is this a Russian
plot to disable the West's defences? Or
is the threat coming from elsewhere? As
Liz and her team hunt for a mole inside the MOD, the trail leads them from
Geneva, to Marseilles and into a labyrinth of international intrigue, in a race
against time to stop the Cold War heating up once again...
A humid summer night in
Gibraltar. Lawyer Spike Sanguinetti
arrives home to find an old friend, Solomon Hassan, waiting on his doorstep. Solomon is on the run. A Spanish girl has been found with her throat
cut on a beach in Tangiers and he is accused of her murder. He has managed to skip across the Straits but
the Moroccan authorities want him back. Spike
travels to Tangiers to try to delay Solomon's extradition, and there meets a
beautiful Bedouin girl. Zahra is
investigating the disappearance of her father, a trail which leads mysteriously
back to Solomon. Questioning how well he
really knows his friend, Spike finds himself drawn into a dangerous game of
secrets, corruption and murderous lies. Shadow
of the Rock is the debut novel by Thomas Mogford and is due to be published
in August 2012.
The Sound of things Falling is by Juan Gabriel Vásquez and is due to be published
in November 2012. No sooner does he get
to know Ricardo Laverde than disaffected young Colombian lawyer Antonio Yammara
realises that his new friend has a secret, or rather several secrets. Antonio's fascination with the life of
ex-pilot Ricardo Laverde begins by casual acquaintance in a seedy Bogota
billiard hall and grows until the day Ricardo receives a cassette tape in an
unmarked envelope. Asking Antonio to
find him somewhere private to play it, they go to a library. The first time he glances up from his seat in
the next booth, Antonio sees tears running down Laverde's cheeks; the next, the
ex-pilot has gone. Shortly afterwards,
Ricardo is shot dead on a street corner in Bogota by a guy on the back of a
motorbike and Antonio is caught in the hail of bullets. Lucky to survive, and more out of love with
life than ever, he starts asking questions until the questions become an
obsession that leads him to Laverde's daughter.
His troubled investigation leads all the way back to the early 1960s,
marijuana smuggling and a time before the cocaine trade trapped a whole
generation of Colombians in a living nightmare of fear and random death.
