Max had traveled to Paris after the end of the Great War to investigate the suspicious death of his diplomat father, Sir Henry Maxted, and was soon plunged into a treacherous game of cat and mouse with the people behind the murder: German spymaster Fritz Lemmer and the dark horse of the Japanese diplomatic contingent, Count Tomura. It is in Japan--the country of Max's birth, where Sir Henry worked early in his career--that Max hopes to finally uncover the truth behind his father's de-mise and take down Lemmer's spy network once and for all. But what Max's co-hort doesn't know is that his own story seems to have come to an end in France. Stuck in limbo, the team decides to pursue their only lead--right into Lemmer's den.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Loaded with death threats, knife fights, a kidnapping or two, and a coded list that has the power to dismantle whole governmental hierarchies, this is a masterful work of historical cut-and-thrust that tests the bonds of family and country to their very limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Goddard\u003c\/b\u003e is the Edgar Award-winning, internationally bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eLong Time Coming\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePast Caring\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eInto the Blue\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the first WH Smith Thumping Good Read Award and was later filmed for television.
