«A Companhia de Estranhos» is the spy novel by Robert Wilson, published by Gradiva in paperback (484 pages, in Portuguese).
Lisbon, 1944: the city is full of spies. Andrea Aspinall, a mathematician, enters that sophisticated world; Karl Voss, a German soldier, seeks to avoid Germany's defeat. In an atmosphere of doubtful loyalties, their paths cross and they live an impossible love, until a night of violence drags them into a web of secrets.
The work was originally published in English as The Company of Strangers in 2001; this Portuguese edition includes a translation by Maria Douglas.
For readers of spy novels and historical intrigue set during World War II.
