With gorgeous prose, European glamour, and an expansive wanderlust,
Christine Mangan's The Continental Affair is a daring literary
caper that is quick on its feet and delightfully surprising. Meet
Henri and Louise. Two strangers, traveling alone, on the train from
Belgrade to Istanbul. Except this isn't the first time they have
met. It's the 1960s and Louise is running. From her past in
England, from the owners of the money she has stolen--and from
Henri, the person who has been sent to collect it. Across the
Continent--from Granada to Paris, from Belgrade to Istanbul--Henri
follows, desperate to leave behind his own troubles. The memories
of his past life as a gendarme in Algeria that keep resurfacing.
His inability to reconcile the growing responsibilities of his
current criminal path with this former self. But Henri soon
realizes that Louise is no ordinary mark. As the train hurtles
toward its final destination, Henri and Louise must decide what the
future will hold--and whether it involves one another.
