their time trying to avoid it. Or so it appears to Superintendent Taleb whose attempts to wind
his career down to an unobtrusive retirement are once again in jeopardy. When delegated a
television interview to discuss a thirty year old political controversy his instructions are
clear enough: whatever you say do not rock the boat. But an inexplicable urge in the moment to
tell the truth lands him in dangerously hot water. It also reopens some decades wounds which
will bring him to the forefront of an investigation he is keen to avoid. Whether he likes it
or not the past is coming for him. And the past in Algeria is venomous vengeful and
relentless quick to consume the unwary traveller. He will soon find himself staring down the
barrel of a long buried mystery which looks likely to add him to its lengthy roster of
victims. This Is the Day They Dream Of is the scintillating sequel to the critically

always resourceful colleague Agent Hidouchi of the Algerian Secret Service. Together they must
navigate the country' treacherous history to save themselves from its perilous present.
