In this exhilarating novel, Robert Olen Butler does a fantastic job
blending fiction with real-life 1915 global hysteria. With WWI in full
swing, American spy and war correspondent Christopher Marlowe “Kit” Cobb
finds himself hot on the trail of a German-American spy named Bauer. He follows this trail right aboard
the doomed ship Lusitania. While aboard the ship, Cobb meets actress
Selene Bourgani with whom he begins a romantic attachment. It becomes apparent to Cobb that the mysterious Selene has her
own secrets regarding the conflict raging in Europe. Following
the historic sinking of the Lusitania, Cobb becomes further entangled in
the web of deceit cast by Selene as he follows her to Istanbul. Through
all of the blood-soaked drama, Cobb relies on his intuition to uncover
Selene’s true motives, only to discover her hidden agenda could bring down
some of the great powers of the world.~Dominic
