The Gordian Knot

Intrigue, espionage, mystery in translator's life.

If you're into stories that weave together suspense, international mystery, and unexpected romance, "The Gordian Knot" is a novel that could pull you in. As you follow the seemingly ordinary life of Georg turned upside down by espionage, you'll be enticed by the tangled web woven by Schlink. This book might be a perfect match for you if you love a good puzzle, where each chapter feels like a piece being clicked into place.
