About this eBook

"Vintage Follett . . . This is his most ambitious novel and it succeeds admirably." —USA Today

Ellis, the American. Jean-Pierre, the Frenchman. They were two men on opposite sides of the Cold War, with a woman torn between them. Together, they formed a triangle of passion and deception, racing from terrorist bombs in Paris to the violence and intrigue of Afghanistan—to the moment of truth and deadly decision for all of them. . . .

Ratings and reviews

Love Ken Follet's style of writing. His historical fiction novels are ALL a must read, Lie Down with Lions is no exception. Couldn't put the book down. On to the next book...

Read this book 20 years ago, in Spanish, I would love read it again in English. The author took me to Afghanistan while reading it. Beautiful, highly recommend this book.

Every Ken Follet book is good, in my journey to read every book he has written!
