LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 STEPHEN LEACOCK MEMORIAL MEDAL FOR HUMOUR
Bestselling and beloved author Terry Fallis'' tenth novel, The Marionette, introduces readers to a new hero, James Norval: a world-famous thriller writer whose life takes an unexpected turn from the pages of his novels into the perilous world of espionage.
James Norval has built a successful career crafting the thrilling adventures of his fictional hero, Hunter Chase, a character admired by readers and movie-goers worldwide. But despite his fame and fortune, Norval has always harboured a secret dream of living the life he only writes about—a life as a field operative for CSIS, Canada''s Security Intelligence Service. In fact, nearly thirty years earlier, he washed out of the CSIS recruitment program, and it''s haunted him ever since.
But that long-held dream becomes a reality when a series of unfortunate events lands Norval in a foreign prison. Rescued by CSIS, he is given an unexpected opportunity: to use his unique position as the favourite writer of Mali''s newly installed president to assist in a delicate and dangerous mission. With the help of agent Lauren Cooper, Norval must infiltrate the Malian government and execute a daring plan to exfiltrate fifteen Canadian nationals before the corrupt powers that control the country uncover their true intentions.
The Marionette is a comic thriller by a master of the craft. Full of Terry Fallis'' signature wit and combined with an exhilarating high-stakes plot, this is a must-read for fans of espionage and intrigue.
