Jacques Whitehead, a British MI6 agent nearing the end of his career, has lived in Los Angeles for 30 years.
He has just written a novel dedicated to his friend Adrien Mesquita, a former journalist and famous novelist.
He met the main characters, first in Algeria, at the end of 1978, one of his first missions abroad, at the time of the death of President Houari Boumediene, then in Europe, where he met the others, all those who had played an important role in this story.
On the afternoon of October 21, 2007, he was eagerly awaiting his publisher. The latter was to bring him about a hundred copies of the book, and he planned to give them that evening to his friend, who had just left by car to join his wife in Ensenada, Mexico.
That's when Jacques learned the terrible news: Adrien crossed the border into Tijuana at 5:00 PM and no one has seen him since.
The only child of a wealthy family living in Lisbon, Adrien joins a protest movement against the dictatorship while his father takes advantage of it to enrich himself by working for the government and doing business in Angola.
After his 18th birthday, he decided to go to France to join the Portuguese anti-fascist movements.
Jacques Whitehead, a British MI6 special agent nearing the end of his career, had lived in Los Angeles for 30 years.
He had recently finished a book about part of the life story of his friend Adriano Mesquita, a former journalist and famous writer.
He had met the main characters of the story, first in Algeria, at the end of 1978, during one of his first missions abroad, shortly after the death of President Houari Boumediene, and later in Europe, where he met and interviewed the others.
That afternoon of October 21, 2007, he was anxiously waiting at home for the publisher who was supposed to deliver a hundred copies of the book he wanted to give to his friend that same night. It was one of the surprises for Adriano, who, meanwhile, had left for Ensenada, Mexico, where his wife was waiting for him to celebrate another wedding anniversary.
It was then that Jacques received the terrible news: Adriano had crossed the Tijuana border at 5 p.m. and no one had seen him since.
The only son of a wealthy Lisbon family, Adriano had been part of a movement of reflection against the dictatorship, while his father took advantage of it and his proximity to political power to enrich himself, collaborating with the government and managing profitable businesses in Angola.
After turning 18, he decided not to do military service and fled to France where he hoped to join Portuguese anti-fascist groups.
