Switching between two timeframes and two sides of Paris — from a circle of wealthy elites to its gritty backstreets — Megan Davis’ The Messenger is a top-notch page-turner of the kind that’ll ignite your mind as it quickens your pulse.

Some seven years ago, Alex found freedom from his hard-drinking, womanising journalist father when he befriended Sami on the city’s streets, a world away from the elite gatherings he’d gone to with his dad. As a result, he developed a thirst for rebellion, which escalates to the fateful night his father was killed. Though Alex and Sami were convicted for his murder, Alex knows the truth. His dad was still alive when they fled his apartment, so who killed him? After being released from prison, Alex has one mission — to find out who really murdered his father.

It’s not long before Alex uncovers a web of Cold War conspiracies when he discovers his dad was investigating the “agents of influence” journalists who planted and spread misinformation and propaganda. Add to that personal scandals, and terrorist attacks that see Paris under siege, and The Messenger amounts to a novel that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat, and on your toes — the truths that emerge are nothing but unexpected, and monumental.
