Grandmaster Michael Gilbert returns with a marvelous tale of British intelligence on the eve of World War I. Michael Gilbert has unequaled narrative abilities to carry the reader along.--Chicago Tribune.
Michael Gilbert, while a master of the short story, is still putting out excellent novels. I sometimes feel he is the most traditional of English authors and may lose some non- anglophile readers. As he has aged his work may have lost a step but this book is still first class reading and opens up a view of the first World War many Americans do not know.
