SynopsisFrom the acclaimed author of Layover in Dubai --the story of a journalist's journey to Vienna, Prague, and Budapest in search of the truth about a spy-turned-novelist's decades of dark secrets... "As fiendishly clever a spy story as you could hope for.... A guaranteed delight for any espionage fan." -- The 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 he'd 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 father's 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 Lemaster's past eerily--and dangerously--still haunt the present. As the suspense steadily increases, decades of secrets begin to unravel...., A Seattle Times Best Mystery of the Year A Times of London Best Crime/Thriller Book of the Year A few years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, spook-turned-novelist Edwin Lemaster reveals to up-and-coming journalist Bill Cage that he'd once considered spying for the enemy.
