Read an excerpt from the novel below, then find out how to participate in our virtual book club For christ's sake, Ben. Answer your phone. I’m freezing my tits off out here. My Eurostar was two hours late leaving London; I should have arrived at 10:30 but it’s just gone midnight. And it’s cold tonight, even colder here in Paris than it was in London.
I glance back down the empty street. Beside a parked car, about 20 feet away, I think I see the shadows shift. I step to the side, to try and get a better look. There’s...I squint, trying to make out the shape. I could swear there’s someone there, crouched behind the car. I glance back at the shadowy area behind the parked car. Now I can’t make out any movement, can’t even see the shape I thought I glimpsed before. Maybe it was just a trick of the light, after all.I look back up at the building. The others on this street are beautiful, but this one knocks spots off them all. It’s set back from the road behind a big gate with a high wall on either side, concealing what must be some sort of garden or courtyard.
The metal gate in front of me has a brass lion’s head knocker: the fat metal ring held between snarling teeth. Along the top of the gate, I notice, is a bristle of anti-climb spikes. And all along the high wall either side of the gate are embedded shards of glass. These security measures feel kind of at odds with the elegance of the building.I lift up the knocker, cold and heavy in my hand, let it drop. The clang of it bounces off the cobblestones, so much louder than expected in the silence.
