About This Item

New York:: Atria (Simon & Schuster),, (2017). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in a fine dust jacket (as new.). First printing. Novel by this Edgar award winning writer set in the early 1960s at the height of the Cold War. "In 1949, Frank Weeks was exposed as a Communist spy and fled the country to vanish behind the Iron Curtain. Now, 12 years later, he has written his memoirs, a KGB-approved project, and has asked his brother Simon, a publisher, to come to Moscow to edit the manuscript. . .And at first Frank is still Frank, the same bond of affection that transcends ideology. Then Simon begins to glimpse another Frank, still capable of treachery, still actively working for 'the service.' . . The gripping story of one family torn apart by the divided loyalties of the Cold War, but it's also a revealing look at the wider community of defectors, American and British, living a twilit Moscow existence, granted privileges but never trusted, spies who have escaped one prison only to find themselves trapped in another that is even more sinister, a world of secrets, where no one can be trusted and murder is just collateral damage." 290 pp. Illustrated endpapers.
