Novel, Thriller by Ken Follett

"Ken Follett has done it once more . . . goes down with the ease and impact of a well-prepared martini." —New York Times Book Review

His name was Feliks. He came to London to commit a murder that would change history. A master manipulator, he had many weapons at his command, but against him were ranged the whole of the English police, a brilliant and powerful lord, and the young Winston Churchill himself. These odds would have stopped any man in the world—except the man from St. Petersburg.

Look out for Ken Follett's newest book, A Column of Fire, available now.

Historisch sicherlich interessant, leider wieder (wie bei anderen Follet-Büchern) mit zu wenigen Personen für die Handlung -- man kennt sich. Ebenso etwas zu viele Zufälle/geniale Einfälle in der Handlung. Wenn man darüber hinweg sieht, dann findet man schöne historische Beschreibungen über die verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Klassen und bekommt einen zumindest gegen Ende hin spannenden Thriller.
