# Spies in Canaan by David Park (Paperback)

**'It is seldom that one can say a book is perfect, but this is as close as I've seen in a very long time' _SUNDAY INDEPENDENT_**  
**'A bold and unsettling parable about guilt, atonement and redemption' _IRISH TIMES_**  
  
Michael has travelled a long way from his boyhood under the endless skies of the Midwest. His retirement is peaceful, if solitary. But one day there is a visitation: a mysterious car on the seafront, and a package delivered. From its contents, Michael understands that he has been commissioned to undertake a final journey.  
  
As Michael makes his way deep into a distant desert - a strange and liminal landscape that lies between hell and redemption - he undertakes another journey, into long-suppressed memories: of Vietnam and the dying days of war, and to face a final accounting for what was done.  
  
**'Another compact marvel ... This is a meditative novel that, while investing heavily in a patient build-up of atmosphere, never forgets the need to put a foot on the gas' _DAILY MAIL_**  
**'David Park's novels are always elegantly written' _INDEPENDENT_**  
**'Unflinching, courageous, wise, alert to the thrill and sorrow of violence ... Adds to David Park's status as a superb novelist' FRANK MCGUINNESS**
