Have you ever tried to find yourself in someone else?

Seek and you will find, they say. But find what?

John Penne, a British intelligence officer, is increasingly intrigued by his target, the attractive Dala Gasnier – a French agent gone rogue, who he’s been ordered to pursue.

But what is he really looking for: a rogue agent, love, or his own identity?

He crosses the starkest of professional lines when he makes Dala an offer she can’t refuse. And when he follows her to one of the most dangerous countries in the world, he doesn’t foresee the profound consequences that await them both.

From a railway platform in Geneva to the steamy bars of Bangkok, from the warm waters of the South Pacific to the icy heights of a volcano in the heart of Africa, The Volcanologist follows one man’s journey that is part espionage mystery, part travelogue, and part story of obsession. It’s also a cautionary tale for anyone who’s ever wondered who they really are.
