«Tomás Nevinson» is the spy novel by Javier Marías, published by DEBOLSILLO in paperback (680 pages, in Spanish).
In 1997, Tomás Nevinson, husband of Berta Isla, feels the temptation to return to the secret services and accepts the assignment from his ambiguous former boss Bertram Tupra: to identify in a northwestern city a person of Spanish and Northern Irish origin who took part in IRA and ETA attacks ten years earlier. The novel reflects on the limits of action, on the possibility of killing to prevent a greater evil, and on the difficulty of knowing what that evil is, with historical terrorism as a backdrop.
Second instalment of the Nevinson series, after «Berta Isla». The work was originally published in 2021 and this paperback edition came out in 2022.
