Reply To: How do the different locations in The Grey Wolf affect the tone of the novel?
The various locations give TGW the intrigue and tension of a thriller with international implications. The efforts to shatter trust and create distrust with disproportinate political response in TGW can happen at any time in any foreign or domestic locale and it does not have to involve trying to poison a water supply. The various locales that LP uses seem to emphasize, I think, the feeling of aloneness and not knowing what to do and if what is being done is the correct thing for Armand, Isabelle and Jean-Guy.
