"A page-turning thrill ride." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In the waning days of World War One, William Somerset Maugham--novelist, playwright, and spy--is sent to Romania to serve allied interests in the fight against Austro-Hungary while dying of tuberculosis. His handler sets him to recruit mysterious Carpathian nobleman Walter Roşu to the cause. But Roşu is more interested in William than the war, and William struggles to fulfill his duty in the face of death and desire.
