Thomas Nevinson, a former British intelligence agent, returned to his homeland of Spain after what he thought was his final retirement, to be with his wife, Berta Isla, but was unexpectedly given a new assignment: to expose a terrorist responsible for the deaths of dozens of people.
Over the years of service, Thomas firmly learned that the fight against evil requires the most decisive measures, and he became accustomed to blindly following any orders. However, now he is haunted by tormenting doubts. Is it possible to assume the role of defender of justice and avenger while skirting the law? And is it possible to violate the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" in the name of higher causes, protecting the world from the evils that threaten it?
Javier Marías's latest novel, "Thomas Nevinson," is a sequel to his acclaimed "Berta Isla," but at the same time, it is a story with a standalone plot. The book has already been translated into many languages and has received high critical acclaim.
Javier Marías is one of the most prominent Spanish writers, the author of 17 novels published in 59 countries, and the winner of dozens of literary awards, including the Spanish Royal Academy Prize, the National Prize, the Critics' Prize, as well as the French Femina, the Italian Grinzane-Cavour, and the international Alberto Moravia and Formentor prizes.
