FRAGMENT KSIĄŻKI
CHAPTER 1
THE SUN SHONE DOWN from the afternoon sky. Nothing moved. Smoke rose up from the village below and the smell of burning filled the valley. The soldiers stood smoking and watching. Suddenly, there was a loud roar from the top of the valley. They all looked towards the plane. As it closed in, they recognized it as one of their own and went back to looking at the remains of the village. When the plane had already passed, the first bomb exploded and the soldiers jumped. It was too late. There was no time to run for cover. The bombs exploded one after another. Marko remembered the scene. Bodies covered in blood. One of his comrades running towards the trees. The deafening noise of the explosions and then silence. And then nothing.
He came round in the forest. The smell of the explosives was all around. The sun was shining through the dust. Eventually, he walked over to where they had all been when the bombs fell. There was a scene of devastation. Dead bodies everywhere. But where was his friend? Goran was nowhere to be seen. One of the bodies moved. He bent down over it. Darko. Suddenly his eyes opened. The two men looked at each other. There was blood coming from wounds in Darko’s leg and back. Marko helped his comrade to his feet and into the trees. He stopped the blood and cleaned and dressed the wounds. Then he went back. One by one he checked the bodies. They were all dead. But there was no Goran. The two soldiers spent the night in the forest, in their waking moments wondering what to do next. By the early morning they had made up their mind. Darko didn’t want to stay around. It was too dangerous. Marko wanted to wait and see whether his friend would appear. Darko thanked his comrade. Perhaps he had saved his life. He wished him luck and walked off into the forest without looking back. Marko waited until it was almost dark. But Goran didn’t return. That night he set off walking into the mountains.

THIS WOULD BE his last job before retirement. Harper knew the rules. Once you had been undercover twice you started to forget who you were. And you began to leave traces. That was dangerous. You were at risk at every moment. He understood, as did his bosses and the criminals, that all crime was connected in some way. There was a network that stretched over the world. It knew no boundaries. People moved from one part of it to another carrying information and telling stories. Whether you were on the side of good or the side of evil, sooner or later, someone would recognize you. It might be your voice, or your eyes, or the way you walked. And once you were recognized, it was over, one way or another. So he would do this last job, and at the end of it there would be one final identity for him, that of a free man.
He had been contacted and told where to be at 10 a.m. on the last Monday morning in September. There was no Scotland Yard this time, as in previous meetings with Wilson. They were posing as businessmen, renting a room in a new luxury office building. He rushed in out of the rain, and signed in at reception. On seeing his name, the security guard directed him to the Blue Room on the twentieth floor. He went up in a glass lift on the outside of the building, watching the world grow smaller beneath his feet. Wilson was waiting for him on a white, leather sofa. It was the only thing in the room that wasn’t blue. Outside, the Thames, under a heavy, grey sky, divided the city. Harper walked over to the sofa and shook hands with Wilson.
“How are you... have you been away?”
“I took your advice. Asia and then South America.”
“Not my idea of fun, but it looks like it’s done you good.”
Wilson was not a man for small talk unless it was part of the game. Harper knew it, and he knew that their safety depended on saying only what was necessary. They got down to business.
“What are we dealing with this time?”
“Well, this one is a complicated one. We’re working on behalf of INTERPOL. We’ve been working on it for quite some time. But now we can smell a breakthrough. Which is where you come in...”
By now, Harper knew the business. They accessed people’s telephones and electronic communications, broke into their homes, and tracked their cars. They fished around for informers. Then, when the time was right, someone slipped undercover into their world.
“We need someone with experience. Someone we know. You’re perfect for the job. And it’s unlikely that you would ever have crossed the paths of those involved. They’re Balkan. They came onto our radar not long after the War ended in Yugoslavia and have been building up their business since. It’s a dangerous business they’re involved in. But they’ve established themselves. And now they’re too big to ignore.”
“What’s the business then?”
“Books.”
Harper raised his eyebrows. “Books?”
“Oh, you’d be surprised. There’s no difference between books and any other commodity. The basic rules of economics apply – supply and demand. If supply is limited and demand high, prices are high. In this case, very high.”
“So these people are book thieves?”
“Others do the stealing. I would rather call them dealers. With your help, we can close them down. There are plenty of criminals involved in this business, Harper, but few who have as much blood on their hands as these men.”
“And who am I?”
“Jonathan Harper. A writer. We’ll give you a month or two to work things out and then you’ll fit quite easily into the world. You’ll be doing some research for a book. That’ll require you to travel around visiting bookshops. That’s the basic idea. I have two pendrives here. Everything that you need to know is on them. We’ll have phones and computer equipment delivered. There’s a flat waiting for you.”
“I remember the first undercover operation. All those documents and papers. And now you give me two pendrives.”
“They call it progress. I’ll be in touch when it is necessary. Don’t contact us.”
They said farewell and Harper left. In the lift he looked out across London. From up there, the horizon formed a great circle, enclosing the labyrinth of the great city. You couldn’t see all of the criminal activity that was taking place in that maze of streets below, but it was there. And it always would be, whatever they did. If you stopped one criminal, another would appear immediately. He pressed the button for the ground floor and the street approached rapidly.
1. Complete the sentences, according to the text.
