19. Europe in Autumn by Dave Hutchinson

I've heard a lot of good things about this recently so I got it out of the library.

I was not disappointed. It's a near-future espionage thriller set in a Europe where nation states are breaking down into ever smaller units, facilitating a roaring trade in smuggling things in and out of places. One of these "Coureurs" ends up over his head and discovers a conspiracy that has been going on since the 19th century and a parallel Europe that has been hidden ever since (shades of The City and The City, but utterly unlike too).

I loved this book. It's action-packed yet intelligent and I will be reading the sequel Very Soon Now.
