Cloud the Smiter

Arthur Gask

Sinopse

One beautiful summer's evening a young man was bicycling slowly along the Military Road that runs between the great Outer Harbour of South Australia and Glenelg. The road was one very seldom used and wound a lonely, sinuous way among the sandhills by the sea.
 
Dusk had just fallen and the young man was riding slowly and anxiously along. He was not anxious because the surface of the road was shockingly uneven and bad, but he was troubled because he was riding without a light.
 
He had not expected to be out so late and there was no oil in his lamp. He had ridden out from Adelaide early that afternoon fully intending to be back long before night had fallen, but twice he had had trouble with his tyres, and dusk had now caught him seven miles at least from the city and on a road that was quite unknown to him.

⭐️ Praise for the bestselling KILLING EVE series ⭐️
Topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse ― Sunday Express
A memorable protagonist . . . there is an extra sheen of glamour that makes Villanelle more a James Bond than a mere killer ― Daily Mail
Like Ian Fleming, Jennings is at once tongue-in-cheek and serious . . . His version of 007 is great fun ― Sunday Times
A short howitzer of a novel . . . Jennings writes at supersonic speed, packing in an impressive number of violent set pieces and sex scenes. The breakneck pace is undeniably addictive but he also displays an offbeat sense of humour ― Metro
Exciting and fun ― Daily Express
Reads a little like Terry Hayes's I Am Pilgrim in miniature . . . the final pages are thrilling ― The Spectator
Racy in several senses and gripping from the word go, you can also see why BBC America commissioned a television version of Jennings's sensational thriller ― Radio Times
