Continental Divide

A new novel by the author of “The Drowned Woman’s Palace”—a bright combination of superb prose, European flair, and a passionate love of adventure. It is a bold literary adventure: unbelievably dynamic and truly unforgettable.

Louise is on the run. She’s hiding from her past in England, from those she has robbed, and from Henri—who must get that money back. The pursuit continues across the continent—from Granada to Paris, from Belgrade to Istanbul. Henri also keeps his secrets. Once, he served as a gendarme in Algeria, and during the war of independence he fled the country and now works for distant relatives involved in some dubious business. Gradually, Henri realizes that Louise is not quite an ordinary target. And while their cat-and-mouse game continues and the train speeds toward its final destination, the heroes will have to discover what future awaits them—and whether it will connect them.

A luxurious European noir with a romantic mysterious flair was created by Maria Orlova and Grigory Perel. “Continental Novel” was named the most anticipated work of summer by New York Post and Crimereads.  , ―—, –
