Description
About the Book
Hailed for her powerful works of psychological suspense as well as her "New York Times"-bestselling mysteries, King now presents a work that is both a harrowing thriller and a thought-provoking exploration of the forces that drive history--and human destinies.Book Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King takes us to a remote cottage in Cornwall in this gripping tale of intrigue, terrorism, and explosive passions that begins with a visit to a recluse code-named . . . Once studied by British intelligence for his excruciating sensitivity to the world's turmoil, Bennett Grey has withdrawn from the world-until an American Bureau of Investigation agent comes to assess Grey's potential as a weapon in a new kind of warfare. Agent Harris Stuyvesant needs Grey's help to enter a realm where the rich and the radical exist side by side-a heady mix of power, celebrity, and sexuality that conceals the free world's deadliest enemy. Soon Stuyvesant finds himself dangerously seduced by one woman and-even more dangerously-falling in love with another. As he sifts through secrets divulged and kept, he uncovers the target of a horrifying conspiracy, and wonders if he can trust anyone, even his touchstone.Review Quotes
