I have started An Officer and a Spy by Robert Harris, my next book club book. Harris is a favourite author of mine, so I am looking forward to this. This is the first time my book club has returned to an author, so I guess my view is not isolated. Here’s the blurb:
Paris, 1895: an army officer, Georges Picquart, watches a convicted spy, Alfred Dreyfus, being publicly humiliated in front of a baying crowd.
Dreyfus is exiled for life to Devil's Island; Picquart is promoted to run the intelligence unit that tracked him down.
But when Picquart discovers that secrets are still being handed over to the Germans, he is drawn into a dangerous labyrinth of deceit and corruption that threatens not just his honour but his life...
