Sobre IBD

The third book in The Thorne Quartet is a psychological thriller that takes Matthew Thorne, a former Canadian Army intelligence officer, on a quest to investigate the disappearance of Monsieur Aristide, a shadowy, éminence grise in the French Secret Service, a quest leading Thorne from Paris to Malta, then to Casablanca, and eventually to the prehistoric menhir fields and pig farms of Brittany. As the search evolves, there is an increasing sense of impending confrontation; madness and treachery, and a hint that Aristide may be luring a nemesis of his from the past into a deadly viper’s snare. Throughout, Thorne is psychologically torn between understanding his own nature and his relationship with a cast of bizarre creatures-some of them assassins-that seem to surround and suffocate him. Only in the twisted house will Thorne find some of the answers.
