Do you love historical thrillers that have you diving deep down Wikipedia rabbit holes, searching out what’s fiction and what's stranger-than-fiction fact? Do you love travel writing, where cities around the world come alive with such richness that it feels like you could jump into the page and turn down an alleyway? Do you love swashbuckling adventures, with characters in, say, fedoras or well-scuffed henleys? Then have I got the book for you.
Peter Kong has written an epic piece of historical fiction adventure that will have you at the edge of your seat even as you savor each immersive, clockwork-like scene. The characters are at once believable and iconic. The locations at once mythic and so realistic you can practically taste the mountain air or London study pipe smoke. The story MOVES, tearing off in an around-the-world hunt even as it begins to bend genres and your expectations. I don’t want to give too much away — but whether you’re looking for an escapist beach read to devour in one sitting or a carefully-plotted novel to unpack chapter by chapter and night by night, this extensively-researched thriller deserves a look.
