Dark Interlude - Peter Cheyney

Dark Interlude centers on a shattered intelligence operative posing as a washed-up mechanic on the Brittany coast, drinking himself into irrelevance-until a woman tied to his covert past reactivates him for one final mission. Beneath the sunlit stillness of the French countryside, a covert war continues, and ghosts of old operations still kill.

As betrayal circles in from all sides, a,/pnd paranoia eats away at the edges of his mind, he must decide whether the spark of his former self is enough to face what’s coming-or whether the drink, the lies, and the shadows will finally claim him for good.
