    Henrie, Maurice

    Abstract

    Diplomatie. Méfiance. Filature. Espionnage. Ambiguïté.  C'est dans cet univers administratif étouffant que Paul vient d'accéder au poste de directeur général aux Affaires étrangères. Il travaille dans un service diplomatique où les petites intrigues se multiplient dans un contexte de relations sociales difficiles.  Il est bel homme, ce Paul. Il attire l'attention de la gent féminine. Il est volage. Il est assez peu sympathique, finalement-presque un antihéros. Qu'à cela ne tienne. Celle qui l'envoûte, qui le tient en haleine, c'est elle, cette belle inconnue.

    Abstract

    Tinker Gordon doesn't want anything to change. He thinks that if he holds on tightly enough, his family, his tiny Cape Breton Island community, his very world will stay exactly the way it has always been. But explosions large and small-a world away, in the Middle East, in the land of opportunity in western Canada, and in his own home in Falkirk Cove-threaten to turn everything Tinker has ever known upside down.
