SUNDAY TIMES BEST THRILLERS 2022
Paris, 2037. The world has never been more dangerous. With a double threat of rising temperatures and new diseases threatening public health, governments face hard choices between cooperation and competition for scarce resources.
French special agent Alexandre Lamarque notices signs of a new terror group – one that is widespread and reaches the highest levels. Experience has taught him there is no-one he can trust – not his secretive lover Mariam, not his intelligence colleagues, and not even the people who trained him to be a spy.
As his investigation deepens, Alex identifies an ominous sequence of events: a theft from a Norwegian genetics lab; a string of gory child murders; a chaotic coup in a breakaway North African republic and the extraction under fire of its charismatic leader.
As the one man able to see through the web of lies, Alex may be the world's only hope of preventing The Coming Darkness.

Reviews of The Coming Darkness
-
“Equally good at derring-do and dialogue… Mosse displays admirable audacity. One of the best thrillers of 2022.”
The Times
-
“A clever, fast-paced thriller with incredible world building… an impressive debut with a cinematic narrative style waiting to be adapted for the screen.”
The Independent
-
“Superb – there's an ominous drumbeat throughout, and pace and tension, and a subtle and scarily plausible dystopia – and above all there's main character Alex Lamarque, who could be one of the greats. Greg Mosse writes like John Le Carré's hip grandson.”
Lee Child
-
“Fast and absorbing, action-packed and loaded with a dark conspiratorial atmosphere... This is ambitious and inventive storytelling, an impressive debut.”
Crime Fiction Lover
-
“Absorbing and intricately plotted.”
The Telegraph
-
“This is exactly the sort of big, meaty, ambitious thriller that the market needs. I haven’t read a book like this since I AM PILGRIM.”
Anthony Horowitz
-
“An utterly satisfying story set in a forensically detailed dystopic future which is too close for comfort.”
Lesley Thompson
-
“A heart-thumping race against time.”
