Thomas Nevinson, a former agent of the British secret service, after resigning, which he considered final, returned to his homeland in Spain, to his wife Berta Isla, but unexpectedly received a new assignment - to expose a terrorist guilty of 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 is accustomed to blindly following any orders. However, now he is haunted by painful doubts. Is it possible to take on the role of a defender of justice and an avenger, bypassing the law? And is it possible to violate the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" in the name of higher goals, protecting the world from the troubles that threaten it?
Javier Marias's latest novel, "Thomas Nevinson", is a continuation of his famous "Berta Isla", but at the same time it is a story with an independent plot. The book has already been translated into many languages and has received the highest marks from critics.
Javier Marías is one of the most prominent Spanish writers, the author of 17 novels published in 59 countries, 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, the international Alberto Moravia and Formentor prizes.
