An American spy in Paris solves a legendary mystery as the Pulitzer Prizeâwinning authorâs âthrilling historical seriesâ continues (The Wall Street Journal). Â Former Chicago journalist turned globe-trotting spy Christopher Marlowe Cobb has already lived many livesâfrom London to Mexico to Berlinâwhen he returns to France in 1922. Where better to work on his novel than among such literary expatriates as Ezra Pound and Ford Madox Ford, who convene at the Shakespeare \u0026 Company bookstore in postwar Paris? Among them is Ernest Hemingway, fellow lone-wolf war correspondent, new friend, and confidante. Like Cobb, Hemingway is writing a novel. Unlike Cobb, however, Hemingwayâs manuscript has just been stolen off a train to Lausanne by what heâs sure were foreign agents. To know what Hemingway knows is risky enough. But to write about it is positively dangerous. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Cobb volunteers to retrieve the manuscriptâbut heâll need all of his spycraft skills to infiltrate the compound where itâs cached. Â
