Synopsis

A young man with an Oedipus complex in 1930s Dresden, Hermann Becht loses himself in the social and political motives of his time.
 
His father is in the SS, his mother is Belarusian, and his girlfriend is Jewish. After a brutal clash with his father, Hermann and his mother flee to Paris. Swept along by a maelstrom of events, Hermann ends up as a spy for the British in the Polish extermination camp Treblinka.
 
The trauma of what he sees in this realm of death intensifies his pessimistic outlook on humanity. In Switzerland, the famous psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung tries to free Hermann of his frightening schizophrenia, but fails to unravel the power of the young man’s emotions, especially his intense hate for his father.
 
What follows is a tragic chain of events, leading to Hermann’s ultimate revenge on his father: the apocalyptic bombing of Dresden.
 
THE LONG FAREWELL is an unforgettable exploration of fascism’s lure and the roots of the Holocaust. More than ever, the novel is a mirror for our modern times.

    It was a strong face, certainly - the eyes pale grey and very cold, the mouth was hard, the dark hair-grey-streaked now - still fell in the authentic comma over the forehead. This is how John Pearson reacted to his first encounter with the real James Bond, an encounter probably unique in the annals of thriller writing. He went on to write the bestselling authorised biography of Ian Fleming. At the time, like most of the world he assumed that James Bond was nothing more than a character in Fleming's highly charged imagination. Then he began to have his doubts. Doubts which were reaching such a pitch that the British secret service were trying to warn him off the scent. Despite this, he finally became convinced that James Bond was not only real, but actually alive. Thanks to a change in policy within the secret service he was invited to embark upon a companion volume to his life of Fleming. This resulting book must be one of the most extraordinary biographies of our times - the authorised life of a myth, the official biography of James Bond.

    It's autumn on the Sonoma Coast, and Claudia Simcoe is sure that the gourmet harvest dinner will wipe away any memories of the unpleasantness last summer. But then the newly installed video surveillance system shows local lawyer Clark Gowan removing something from a hidden compartment in the marketplace walls . . . and Claudia's visit to his office the next day reveals that he's dead, shot with one of his own vintage guns. 
     
     
     
    The town's new police chief wants to know about the compartment, but she's more interested in the fact that Julie Muller, cheesemaker and one of Claudia's tenants, broke in to Gowan's office the night before he was killed. Concerned for her friend, and also about the revelation that Gowan, who was involved in the sale of the marketplace building, was not entirely on the up and up, Claudia is determined to learn more. 
     
     
     
    The building's Prohibition-era history offers some clues, and the victim's illegal legal work turns out to have affected a number of people in town. Claudia still has a marketplace to run, and she is more confused than anyone when it comes to her relationship with her neighbor. Still, Claudia thinks she's getting a hand on this investigating thing, until another gruesome death, secrets from her building's past, and a tractor chase make her wonder if she's really ready to reap what she's sown.

    Into the ordered life of thirty-three-year-old Edward Netherford comes the Brockman family. Loud, brash and demanding the return of three Impressionist paintings which have been retained - illegally, they claim—by their late father’s second wife. Edward’s legal services—and his even temperament - have never been more severely tested as letters to the second Mrs. Brockman in York remain ignored and unanswered. It soon becomes clear that some more positive move has to be made. Under pressure to make an early settlement, Edward decides on a personal interview and travels to York, planning to mix business with pleasure by staying at an old school friend’s hotel. But stormy weather and a calamitous fire at the Cross Keys force him into much less suitable accommodation miles out of the city - and into the company of a beautiful young woman whose chaotic lifestyle proves to be a surprisingly pleasant diversion from the thorny question of the missing Brockman inheritance.
