Product Description
Book Description
Lucian Gregory and Gabriel Syme both dress as poets. In this disturbing fantasy, one is an Anarchist and the other is a policeman. In the surreal anarchist world they inhabit one of them is voted onto the Anarchists' Council of Days and becomes 'Thursday'. The Nightmare has just begun... --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Can you trust yourself when you don't know who you are? Syme uses his new acquaintance to go undercover in Europe's Central Anarchist Council and infiltrate their deadly mission, even managing to have himself voted to the position of 'Thursday'. In a park in London, secret policeman Gabriel Syme strikes up a conversation with an anarchist. Sworn to do his duty, when Syme discovers another undercover policeman on the Council, however, he starts to question his role in their operations. And as a desperate chase across Europe begins, his confusion grows, as well as his confidence in his ability to outwit his enemies. But he has still to face the greatest terror that the Council has - its leader: a man named Sunday, whose true nature is worse than Syme could ever have imagined...
