I век нашей эры. Римская империя на пике расцвета. Богатейшее население империи роскошествует на виллах средиземноморского побережья, наслаждаясь последними днями уходящего лета. Крупнейший в мире военный флот мирно стоит на якоре в Мизенах. Люди тратят деньги на морских курортах в Байях, Геркулануме и Помпеях. Казалось бы, ничто не предвещает надвигающуюся трагедию. Единственный, кто понимает: что-то идет не так, — Марк Аттилий, потомственный акварий, управляющий акведуком, что снабжает регион водой. Впервые за много десятилетий механизм подачи воды отказывает, акведук стремительно высыхает. Аттилий дает обещание Плинию, ученому и командующему флотом, что отыщет причину сбоя. Для этого ему нужно собрать экспедицию и отправиться в Помпеи, где, как считает Марк, и кроется причина несчастья. Но Помпеи не простой город. Здесь Аттилию противодействует не только сама природа, но и люди, которым его усердие только мешает...

Но боги — существа переменчивые, человек в их руках — игрушка. И Рим — это не остров блаженных, Рим — это большая арена, где если не победишь ты, то соперники повергнут тебя, и часто со смертельным исходом. Заговор Катилины, неудачливого соперника Цицерона на консульских выборах, и попытка государственного переворота… Козни влиятельных врагов во главе с…

Но даже там им не скрыться от проницательного Ричарда Нэйлера, чиновника Тайного совета, имеющего личные счеты к цареубийцам.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

From the bestselling author of Fatherland, The Ghostwriter, Munich, and Conclave comes this spellbinding historical novel that brilliantly imagines one of the greatest manhunts in history: the search for two Englishmen, charged in the killing of King Charles I, by the implacable foe on their trail—an epic journey into the wilds of seventeenth-century New England, and a chase like no other.

"From what is it they run?"
He took a while to reply. By the time he spoke the men had gone inside. He said quietly, “They killed the King.”

1660. General Edward Whalley and his son-in-law Colonel William Goffe board a ship in London bound for the New World and an uncertain future in exile. They are wanted for the 1649 murder of King Charles I – a brazen execution that marked the culmination of the English Civil War, in which parliamentarians successfully battled royalists for control. But ten years after Charles’ beheading, the royalists returned to power. Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, the fifty-nine men who signed the king’s death warrant have been found guilty in absentia of high treason. Some parliamentarians, including Oliver Cromwell, are dead; others have been captured, hung, drawn, and quartered. A few are imprisoned for life. But Whalley and Goffe escaped to New England. In London, Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, is charged with bringing the traitors back home to justice and will stop at nothing to find them. A substantial bounty hangs over their heads for their capture—dead or alive. Encompassing a period of tremendous upheaval in English history the novel brings alive pivotal moments including the Black Death and the Great Fire of London as Nayler closes in on the exiles. Act of Oblivion is an epic story of religion, vengeance, and of power—and the costs to those who wield it.

They lied to protect their country. He told the truth to save it. A gripping historical thriller from the bestselling author of FATHERLAND. January 1895. On a freezing morning in the heart of Paris, an army officer, Georges Picquart, witnesses a convicted spy, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, being publicly humiliated in front of twenty thousand spectators baying "Death to the Jew!"
The officer is rewarded with promotion: Picquart is made the French army's youngest colonel and put in command of "the Statistical Section" - the shadowy intelligence unit that tracked down Dreyfus. The spy, meanwhile, is given a punishment of medieval cruelty: Dreyfus is shipped off to a lifetime of solitary confinement on Devil's Island - unable to speak to anyone, not even his guards, his case seems closed forever. But gradually Picquart comes to believe there is something rotten at the heart of the Statistical Section. When he discovers another German spy operating on French soil, his superiors are oddly reluctant to pursue it. Despite official warnings, Picquart persists, and soon the officer and the spy are in the same predicament.
Narrated by Picquart, AN OFFICER AND A SPY is a compelling recreation of a scandal that became the most famous miscarriage of justice in history. Compelling, too, are the echoes for our modern world: an intelligence agency gone rogue, justice corrupted in the name of national security, a newspaper witch-hunt of a persecuted minority, and the age-old instinct of those in power to cover-up their crimes.
