'Compelling, visceral and highly readable' Oliver Bullough,
bestselling author of MoneylandA compulsive true crime thriller
about modern-day international drugs trafficking, terrorism and
geopolitical intrigue following an investigation driven by one DEA
agent, Jack Kelly. Three very different men battle to control their
destinies as they hurtle through the hall of mirrors of the global
shadow economy.Jack Kelly, a veteran US Drug Enforcement
Administration agent, tasked with following a trail of dirty money
across continents from a top-secret investigative unit based in
Virginia.Salvatore Pititto is an ambitious Mafia capo working on a
vast cocaine shipment who becomes unexpectedly pulled into an
arms-smuggling conspiracy. Mustafa Badreddine is a ghost-like
master terrorist wanted by governments across the world who has
been secretly dispatched to Syria for his final mission.Each man,
born in radically different circumstances in the 1960s, is in his
own way grappling with the powerful and unstoppable forces that
shape the world around us, forces which topple governments, send
refugees fleeing across borders, and put guns in the hands of
mercenaries and militias. Each has devoted his whole life to an
institution - the DEA, the Mafia and the Lebanese militant group
Hezbollah - and each will eventually be destroyed or betrayed by
the thing they believe in the most.Set during 2015 and 2016, as the
global order began to implode under the pressures of the Syrian
civil war and the European refugee crisis, CHASING SHADOWS looks
back over the historical conflicts, events and personal histories
that have shaped the lives of these three men. It's a book that
shows the betrayals, the disillusionment and the violence as Jack
Kelly hunts down his targets.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
