| book description |

City of Light is a labyrinthine thriller set in the multinational world of human rights - a novel of codes and signs, of passion and blood. A man trying to locate his political sympathies, Thomas Zane, is himself a troubled son of American politics - his mother is a jailed Sixties radical. Now working for a small organisation in Paris, he is one of a half dozen people who have divvied up the globe, monitoring torture, imprisonment, and massacres in their own special sectors. Then, while combing his computer for signals from shadowy informants throughout Africa, Zane learns that the best of these 'rakers' - and his close friend - has been killed. The news plunges him into a hall-of-mirrors pursuit of an African revolutionary - a scientist-turned-mercenary - a chase through safe houses and the darker quarters of the City of Light, to a refuge above a jazz club, and finally to a remote Milan hamlet where the hunters and hunted meet face to face. A novel of pain and vengeance, City of Light is timely, electrifying, and profound.
