A spy is trying to outmanoeuvre his successors, who were sent to kill him in the fictional city of Libidissi.
Georg Klein‘s unique narrative style appears to be fully developed in this 1998 debut already; it‘s remarkably similar to his later novels and stories I have read. Also, his signature mixing of genres: spy thriller, historical fiction, satire of orientalism and religious mania, etc. Truly masterful.
Reading location: the park.
