Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Pérez-Reverte delivers a wonderfully suspenseful wartime thriller about a painter and photographer who receives a visit from his troubled past in the form of a man who was the subject of one of his photographs. Simon Vance's classical British accent brings added life to the story, offering a vivid reading that will transport listeners to another time and place. His delivery is clear and often unnerving, knowing exactly when and where to capture the profound sense of foreboding and tension that abounds. Vance's performance is remarkable. He brings central character Andres Faulques into existence through a tremendous attention to detail and dialect and a firm understanding of Pérez-Reverte's gripping tale.

From AudioFile

Pérez-Reverte's novel is a mystery, a memoir, a thriller, and a philosophical treatise on the nature of love, art, and war. Andres Falques, a retired war photographer, spends his days painting a massive mural incorporating scenes from horrendous battles. Simon Vance's portrayal of Falques reveals a numb, world-weary, isolated shell, detached not only from others, but also from himself. When a Croatian soldier who has suffered torture and the murder of his family because of a Falques photo shows up, the two men discuss their responsibility for the horrors of war, Vance's performance forces listeners to question their own moral obligations as observers of the world's suffering. Vance's characters are distinct and expressive, evolving as the story progresses. The listener will long remember Vance's delivery of these two voices.
