Descriere Europe in Autumn, 1 - Dave Hutchinson

\nThe multiple award-nominated visionary thriller of future espionage, broken borders, people smuggling, betrayal and an impossible secret The Guardian called, a spellbinding novel of intrigue and paranoia. Europe as we know it is gone. Devastated by a flu pandemic and crippled by economic collapse, the continent has fractured into countless tiny nations, a fragile web of shifting alliances seething with espionage and strange new technologies. In a small restaurant in Krakow, chef Rudi is drawn into a new career with Les Coureurs des Bois, a shadowy organisation that will move anything across any state line - for a price. Soon, Rudi is in a world of high-risk smuggling operations, where kidnappings and double-crosses are as natural as a map that constantly redraws itself. \nThe multiple award-nominated visionary thriller of future espionage, broken borders, people smuggling, betrayal and an impossible secret The Guardian called, a spellbinding novel of intrigue and paranoia.
