Synopsis
The Cold War is long dead but the trade in deceit and lies is still running hot. In Hamburg, John Anselm is hiding from the ghosts he has left behind in foreign war zones. He spends his days working for a surveillance firm. At night he drinks too much, paranoid about the suspicions he glimpses in the eyes of strangers. In London, Caroline Wishart calls herself an expose journalist. The story she has stumbled on could make her career - or is she playing somebody else's game? Into both their lives comes ex-mercenary Con Niemand, bearing an explosive secret, a secret with the power to topple governments and destroy them all. A powerful and compelling thriller, In the Evil Day conjures a 21st century world where information is more dangerous than explosives and secrets are more important than human life.

Condition: FINE. First printing, a trade paperback original. The uncommon true first edition of this complex international thriller, a stand-alone novel by this award-winning Australian crime fiction writer. "John Anselm is a former Beirut hostage, a war correspondent who went to one war too many. A burnt-out case, he lives in Hamburg, working for a semi-legal, near broke surveillance firm and trying to come to terms with his past. Then into his life comes Con Niemand, an ex-mercenary and professional survivor. Niemand has stumbled across evidence of a terrible secret and now he's one the run, the focus of a relentless high-tech manhunt across England to the remote Welsh mountains. Against his will, Anselm is plunged into a world of violence, betrayal and death." Boldly SIGNED on the title page and dated in the year of publication. 444 pp. Fine in illustrated wrappers.
