I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes

Posted

Fast-paced, political spy story with more intelligence than brute force; I loved it!

Title: I am Pilgrim 

Author: Terry Hayes

A woman is murdered in New York and all ways to identify her have been removed. The body makes the lead officer on the scene think of a scene in a book written by a former CIA legend. 

The CIA agent has gone into hiding to enjoy his retirement, but the New York police department decides to try to track him down as they desperately need his help.

We meet the young Saudi boy who has seen his own father being beheaded in public. As he grows up, he is disgusted by the way women outside of Saudi lives and he joins the Taliban. 

He sets in motion a long-winded, well-planned and extremely carefully executed plan. The effects of which will be much worse than 9/11.

Further books by the author

The second book by Hayes, called The year of the locust, is allegedly due to be released in May (hardback) and July (Kindle) 2021. Not sure why it is taking so long, but hopefully this is it!

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
