IN THE HUNT FOR A SPY, HE EXPOSED A CONSPIRACY

'Seriously riveting . . . a testament to Robert Harris's storytelling power' The Times

'Taut and exciting' Guardian

Paris, 1895: an army officer, Georges Picquart, watches a convicted spy, Alfred Dreyfus, being publicly humiliated in front of a baying crowd.

Dreyfus is exiled for life to Devil's Island; Picquart is promoted to run the intelligence until that tracked him down.

But when Picquart discovers that secrets are still being handed over to the Germans, he is forced to confront the dangerous truth that Dreyfus may be innocent.

Soon Picquart is being drawn into a labyrinth of deceit and corruption that threatens not just his honour but his life . . .

Opinie krytyków

The fact that this novel is seriously riveting is a testament to Robert Harris's storytelling power; he conjures knuckle-blanching suspense from a very well-known piece of history. (BOOKS OF THE YEAR)
Harris’ retelling of the Dreyfus case is as taut and exciting as anything by Forsyth or Follet. (BOOKS OF THE YEAR)
Menace and suspense twist tight in a narrative of tremendous tension. (BOOKS OF THE YEAR)
Superb . . . Harris demonstrates his unique ability to recreate historical events and turn them into spellbinding thriller . . . Written with scalpel-like precision and the elegance we expect of Harris, there is a passion here that justifies calling it a masterpiece. (BOOKS OF THE YEAR)
A brilliant retelling of a scandal that became one of the most famous miscarriages of justice . . . the most gripping book I've read this year. (BOOKS OF THE YEAR)
A gripping tale, its shocking power heightened by Harris’s narrative skills.
A master storyteller at the top of his game
A compelling tale of power, cover-ups and idealism.
Many readers prize him as our supreme exponent of the “literary” thriller. His novels are not difficult – they are whizzing page-turners… They also combine masterly suspense and mystery with historical insight and political shrewdness. His latest novel is no exception: it is a cracking read from start to finish… It offers a bravura display of Harris’s fictional skills. The first is sureness of historical touch. In both general and specific terms the period comes alive… There is no need to wait for the film: it can scarcely be more exciting than the book.
Harris is committed to the belief that you can get at a truth as a novelist that you can’t as an historian… and he does give us the look, sensations, sounds and smells as no historian could… it is informative, accomplished and highly enjoyable

In Krimis von Robert Harris ist der Held oft nicht übermäßig heldenhaft: privat in unglücklichen Beziehungen, beruflich geachtet aber ein Außenseiter und daher nicht Teil des informellen Netzwerks. Was ihm zum Verhängnis wird: er sind anständig!

Diese spannende Schilderung der Dreyfuss- Affäre aus der Sicht eines Haupt-Protagonisten, des Geheimdienstchefs Picquard, folgt diesem Muster. Er entdeckt die Wahrheit und muss erfahren, dass seine Armee und ihre Führung keinen Fehler zugeben wollen. Spannend und historisch akkurat wird die Affäre aufbereitet. Nur gegen Schluss wird der Spannungsbogen einfach abgeschnitten und der Epilog wirkt geradezu wie aus einem anderen Film.

Trotzdem: ein echter Genuss, Geschichte so spannend und gut zugänglich zu erleben. Vor allem das frühe Geheimdienst-Millieu vor 1900 lässt an Spannung nichts vermissen. Picquard steht Bond um nichts nach...

Spannender als 007: wirkliche Geschichte!

Perfectly read, paced, researched, told, observed, felt, enjoyable, enjoyed. I can’t think of more ways to persuade someone to read than to say this: I had to listen to it in two sittings and that’s 16 hours a pop.

Excellent in every sense

Robert Harris'book tells the famous Dreyfus affair in a fascinating and historically well researched kind of way. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end.
The speaker reads it clearly and manages very well to imitate the different characters. Only critcism: thé french names, places etc should be pronounced more authentically.

Great Story
