An ambitious, fast-paced, contemporary technological and political thriller set in the near future and against a shifting, fragile, political landscape. The world seems broken, but surely there’s something worth saving? Alexandre Lamarque of the French external security service must work out why and how – and stop THE COMING DARKNESS.
Who can he trust?
“‘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”.”
“‘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.’”
“‘It was easy to lie convincingly when there was no truth to conceal. One of many sobering sentences in this finely crafted complex thriller. An utterly satisfying story set in a forensically detailed dystopic future that is too close for comfort. I’d love to see The Coming Darkness under ‘M’ in bookshops.’”
Greg's first career was in theatre as an actor, director & writer. He has lived and worked in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and Madrid, mostly as a translator and interpreter for a variety of international organisations.
In 2015, he returned to theatre, writing and producing 25 plays and musicals, plus four short films. He took advantage of 2020's lockdown to fulfill a long-term ambition to sit quietly and write a powerful thriller.
