William Boyd transports you to the vibrant streets of sixties London.
Born in Ghana in 1952, William Boyd spent much of his early life in West Africa. He now divides his time between the south-west of France and Chelsea, where he lives a stone’s throw from James Bond’s London address.
Gabriel’s Moon by William Boyd follows an accidental spy drawn into the shadows of espionage and obsession. Gabriel Dax is a young man haunted by the memories of a tragedy.
Every night, he has a nightmare about his childhood home in flames. His days are spent on the move as an acclaimed travel writer, capturing changing landscapes in the grip of the Cold War.
When he has been offered the chance to interview a political figure, his ambition leads him into a web of lies and betrayal.
Falling under the spell of Faith Green, an MI6 handler, he cannot resist her demands, and new revelations closer to home change the rest of his story.
William Boyd’s Gabriel’s Moon was released on the 10th of September.
William Boyd is the author of one non-fiction work, three collections of short stories and thirteen novels, including the bestselling historical spy thriller Restless. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and an Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
