A visionary thriller of future espionage, broken borders, people
smuggling, betrayal and an impossible secret The Guardian called, "a
spellbinding novel of intrigue and paranoia."
Europe as we know it is gone.
Devastated by a flu pandemic and crippled by economic collapse, the
continent has fractured into countless tiny nations, a fragile web of
shifting alliances seething with espionage and strange new technologies.
In a small restaurant in Krakow, chef Rudi is drawn into a new career
with Les Coureurs des Bois, a shadowy organisation that will move
anything across any state line - for a price.
Soon, Rudi is in a world of high-risk smuggling operations, where
kidnappings and double-crosses are as natural as a map that constantly
redraws itself.
