THIS IS THE NIGHT THEY COME FOR YOU - ROBERT GO...

From the author of the BBC 2 Between the Covers hit  The Fine Art of Invisible Detection 'The
world's greatest storyteller' THE GUARDIAN'One of the finest crime writers of any generation'
DAILY MAIL On a stifling afternoon at Police HQ in Algiers  Superintendent Taleb  coasting
towards retirement  with not even an air-conditioned office to show for his long years of
service  is handed a ticking time bomb of a case which will take him deep into Algeria's
troubled past and its fraught relationship with France. To his dismay  he is assigned to work
with Agent Hidouchi  an intimidating representative of the country's feared secret service  who
makes it clear she intends to call the shots. They are instructed to pursue a former agent  now
on the run after twenty years in prison for his part in a high-level corruption scandal. But
their search will lead them inexorably towards a greater mystery  surrounding a murder that
took place in Paris more than fifty years ago. Uncovering the truth may be his responsibility 
but Taleb is well aware that no-one in Algeria wants to be reminded of the dark deeds carried
out in the struggle for independence - or in the violence that has racked the nation since.
Before long  he will face a choice he has long sought to avoid  between self-preservation and
doing the right thing. And  ultimately  the choice may not even be his to make.
