Publisher's Synopsis
The Republic of Night as the sequel of Lying Crying Dying, finds Pascual Rose trying to stay off the radar in Barcelona's back alleys and bars, but to no avail. French intelligence agents find him and make him an offer he can't refuse-identify an old Syrian comrade now working for a sinister Russian conglomerate, for a price. Reluctantly, Pascual heads to Paris, where he finds he is not the only one interested in his quarry; a lovely dissident journalist named Djemila is tailing a general from Algiers, who's meeting with the Russians employing the Syrian target of Pascual's handlers. Soon the pursuers become pursued in chase across the capitals of Europe. Calling on old Israeli adversaries for help, Pascual is forced to confront unpleasant truths about his traveling companion-and trusting wrongly could get him killed.
