Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

The sequel to the Times Thriller of the Year bestseller, This is the Night They Come for You.

The past is coming for Chief Inspector Taleb. He may not know it but he will soon enough. And the past in Algeria is venomous, vengeful and relentlessful, designed to consume the unwary traveller. He will soon find himself looking down the barrel of a thirty-year-old mystery, which, if he’s not careful, will be aimed squarely at him.

This Is the Day They Dream Of is the scintillating sequel to the critically acclaimed This Is The Night They Come For You, which introduced the world-weary Inspector Taleb and his infinitely more competent colleague Agent Hidouchi of the Algerian Secret Service. Together they must navigate the country’s treacherous history to save themselves from its dangerous present.
