Released on Thursday, July 29, 2004 at To another Bookcrossing member in By Post, By Post Controlled Releases.

Sent by post to Buchsuch!

The book arrived today, thanks also for that funny cartoon inside!
Unfortunately I have to read one or two bookrings first as I don't want to get in trouble with the next persons on the list.. :)

"Michael Havelock's world died on a moonlit beach on the Costa Brava. He watched as his partner and lover, Jenna Karas, double agent, was efficiently gunned down by his own agency. There was nothing left for him but to quit the game, get out. Until, in one frantic moment on a crowded railroad platform in Rome, Havelock saw his Jenna - alive. From then on, he was marked for death by both U.S. and Russian assassins, racing around the globe after his beautiful betrayer, trapped in a massive mosaic of treachery created by a top-level mole with the world in his fist - Parsifal." (information from the back of the book)

One of these spy books of the 80s, the bad guys coming - surprise - from the Soviet Union (still remember that country?) You'll read about moles and Parcifal, the super mole. The plot is unbelievable, doesn't seem to be possible, but fortunately there are heroes too, using all their wits and muscles to put an end to the mischief. And fortunately it's not overly US patrioc as the Tom Clancy spy books I have read.
That was thrilling! I have sore eyes :-) couldn't put the book away, had to finish it as fast as possible. And I am definitely going to read more Ludlum books. The Bourne Identiy being already on the way to my letterbox.

Today I am sending the book to CurlyClochette in Nice (France), for the OBCZ at the downtown bar Les Distilleries Idéales.

If I didn't have so many books waiting to be read I would have liked to try this Ludlum, quite thrilling apparently. But... So I will release it on the Promenade des Anglais today.

Livre "chassé" pour le plaisir. Ne lisant pas l'anglais, je le relâche sur la prom' s'il ne trouve pas de "french reader speaking english" dans mon entourage ...

Second livre trouvé hier soir sur la Prom', où je passais à tout hazard et sans espoir de réussite, assez tard dans la soirée.

Je suis allée de surprise en surprise, deux livres le même jour ... !! Sincèrement, en tant que "bookcrosseuse chasseuse",je ne pouvais pas les laisser passer la nuit dehors :) Je les dorlote quelques jours et je les laisse continuer leur voyage ...

J'ai failli partir en quête du troisième, mais l'heure tardive et la nuit noire m'en ont dissuadée, j'espère toutefois (et cela me console) qu'il aura atteint son but initial : tomber entre les mains d'un lecteur anglais.
