Synopsis
Sometimes surviving a war can almost seem worse than dying in it. A heart-pounding thriller from the bestselling author, the “best spy novelist ever” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).Vukovar, 1991—a small Croatian village near the Serbian border. In a moonlit field, the villagers await an arms shipment they need to make a last-ditch fight against the advancing Serbs. The promised delivery never comes, and the village is overrun.Eighteen years later, a body is unearthed from a field, and with it the identity of the arms dealer who betrayed them. Now the villagers can plot their revenge.In leafy England, Harvey Gillot regards himself a man of his world. There is only one blemish on his record, and that was all a long time ago. But Gillot, his family, his friends and his enemies are about to be pitched into a sequence of events that will unfold across Europe with breathtaking drama and almost biblical power.Harvey Gillot is about to find out what happens when the hand of the past reaches out to the present—and it’s holding a gun.“A war crime propels this stellar thriller from Edgar-finalist Seymour (Harry’s Game) . . . How Seymour develops these characters and manipulates them until they all end up in Vukovar is a testament to his talent and skill.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)“The final scenes are brilliantly orchestrated by Seymour, the sustained tension becoming almost unbearable . . . Without doubt, The Dealer and the Dead is one of the finest thrillers to be published so far this year.” —Yorkshire Evening Post
