The dying light - Henry Porter

A chilling police surveillance thriller from 'one of the masters of the genre' Sunday Telegraph

At the
funeral the bells of the church were rung open rather than half-muffled, as
is usual for the dead. Kate Lockhart has come, along with corporate leaders,
ministers and intelligence chiefs, to a beautiful town in the Welsh Marches to
mourn her soul mate, David Eyam, the brightest government servant of his
generation. All that remains of Eyam are the burnt fragments of a man killed
far from home in a horrific explosion.

Eyam has
left a devastating legacy which certain people at the funeral are desperate
to suppress - but Kate Lockhart is equal to Eyam's legacy. She becomes the
focus of the state's paranoiac power and leads the local resistance to it,
directed from beyond the grave by Eyam.

And the
state is no match for the genius of the dead...

An incredibly prescient
thriller set in the aftermath of the Snowden news story from the bestselling
author of Brandenburg.
