The Colour of Night Book

Harry Strand appears to have it all. An international reputation as a dealer in old master and Impressionist drawings, a beautiful home, a devoted assistant and more than enough money. But actually, Harry's life is anything but sweet. He is mourning the death of his wife Romy and trying to forget his career in American Intelligence--two facts that, as The Colour Of Night progresses, are inextricably linked. The one bright hope, the arrival of the enigmatic, recovering divorcée, Mara Song, is suddenly overshadowed by Harry's past. That is, until he finds a video tape of the final moments of Romy's life being played in Mara's apartment. How far is his new love implicated in the death of his old? Can Harry ever hope to lay the ghosts of the past to rest? For those whose taste in thrillers turns to espionage, David Lindsey's latest novel does not disappoint. From the odious Schrade, a man willing to play Harry's former associates as expendable pawns in a life-and-death chase, to the many-sided Mara herself, this is a complex story of love and deceit. -- Elizabeth McGregorRead More
