Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An epic and hauntingly topical geopolitical thriller spanning six decades and three continents, The Human Pool confirms the journalist and award-winning filmmaker Chris Petit as the heir to John le Carré and Robert Harris.THE HUMAN POOLRumors about Willi Schmidt's actions during the Second World War were enigmatic, to say the least.

Chris Petit has crafted his finest novel yet -- a cosmopolitan, thinking-person's thriller that turns the world inside out and traces its veins: It spells nothing less than the rebirth of the great espionage novel.…
