Dança e sonho

Second part of a trilogy. Skillfully constructed around a central mesmerizing scene in a nightclub, a scene of real and perplexing horror, again features our hero Jacques Deza. But in Volume Two Deza--hired by MI6 as a person of extraordinarily sophisticated powers of perception--discovers the dark side of his new employers. In a disco, Tupra, his spymaster boss, brings out a sword and uses it in a way that appalls Deza, who remonstrates: "You can't just go around hurting and killing people like that." "Why not?" asks Tupra.
