Set just after WWI in England, the story follows American agent Harris Stuyvesant as he pursues an anarchist bomber. In order to get close to the anarchist, Stuyvesant enlists the help of Bennett Grey, a decorated but much wounded WWI vet. Grey‘s injury in the war left him a virtual anntenna for human emotion and dissonance. He can tell if someone is lying as easily as he can tell gold from gilt. A departure from Mary Russell but just as good.
