Bernard Besson on Global Warming

Bernard Besson, a prizewinning thriller writer and former top-level French intelligence officer, talks to us aboutThe Greenland Breach, a novel about the real consequences of global warming. It’s got a cracking ice cap, rival multinationals and cutthroat espionage. Available in translation next week.

Why did you write this global warming thriller?

I had questions about global warming and its consequences, just like my readers do, and I wanted to entertain readers with a good story.

What surprise...
