International bestseller
"Another triumph for this fine writer."
The Daily Telegraph
"A truly international 21st century thriller . . . The characters are real, the action convincing and the writing style satisfyingly literate."
The Guardian
From the bestselling author of The Broken Shore.
John Anselm's a former Beirut hostage; a war correspondent who went to one war too many. A burnt-out case, he's working for a semi-legal Hamburg surveillance firm and trying to come to terms with his past. Then into his life comes Con Niemand, ex-mercenary and professional survivor. Niemand has stumbled across evidence of a terrible secret and now he's on the run. Against his will, Anselm is plunged into a world of violence, betrayal and death. He must pit himself against forces he doesn't understand, forces determined to rebury a secret that can destroy reputations and lives across the globe.
"There can be few pleasures greater than discovering an author whose work is so consistently good that the anticipation of their next book is itself a joy . . . Polished gems of De Beers quality . . . In The Evil Day is a gritty realistic international conspiracy...the pace is insistent and driving from the outset and never lets up. Temple is an intelligent writer and cleverly spins out the suspense and his characterisation, while spare, is at the same time richly detailed in a way that only gifted writers manage. Many books are described as thrillers, few of them truly are. In The Evil Day is a rare exception."
Sunday Express
"Sharp, smart . . . this will grip you from beginning to end."
