A compelling story of intrigue and deception as parties plot and scheme to defeat one another, the novel draws on a little-known historical fact in fashioning a taut and absorbing storyline. Diplomatic deception leads to high-stakes disputes and risky encounters as Muller confronts deadly spies, negotiates with corrupt arms dealers, and unravels subversive financial transactions. The atmosphere of doubt and fear will resonate with listeners watching the characters confront dangerous choices, unwitting actors on a path to war. Smoky meetings, shady deals, and political betrayal provide the background for an intense narrative.
