โAs fiendishly clever a spy story as you could hope forโฆ. A guaranteed delight for any espionage fan.โ โThe Seattle Times
A few years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, spook-turned-novelist Edwin Lemaster reveals to up-and-coming journalist Bill Cage that heโd once considered spying for the enemy. For Cage, a fan who grew up as a Foreign Service brat in the very cities where Lemaster set his plots, the story creates a brief but embarrassing sensation. More than two decades later, Cage receives an anonymous note hinting that he should have dug deeper. Spiked with cryptic references to some of his and his fatherโs favorite old spy novels, the note is the first piece of a puzzle that will lead Cage back to Vienna, Prague, and Budapest in search of the truth, even as he discovers that the ghosts of Lemasterโs past eerilyโand dangerouslyโstill haunt the present. As the suspense steadily increases, decades of secrets begin to unravelโฆ.
