The Portuguese Spy
International intelligence services are thrown into turmoil upon learning of a secret study on a new generation weapon. Two organisations, one quasi-governmental, the other made up of mercenaries, clash in an attempt to gain the upper hand. Among them is a young Portuguese man.
André Marques-Smith leads a quiet life as director of the Press and Information Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But Freelancer, his alter ego, is a relentless, methodical and seductive secret agent. During an operation, he makes a discovery. However, just as in life, there are values that override everything else.
Winner of the 2012 Note! Literary Prize, The Portuguese Spy is the book that launched Nuno Nepomuceno. A sophisticated, fast-paced thriller that blends traditional elements of spy fiction with an innovative approach, while also paying tribute to Portuguese family values. An unpredictable novel that you won't be able to put down.
