商品描述内容简介A thrillingly inventive novel about spies and their secrets, fathers and sons, lovers and fate, and duplicity and loyalty—a maze of intrigue built from the espionage classics of the Cold War.
A few years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, spook-turned-novelist Edwin Lemaster reveals to up-and-coming journalist Bill Cage that he'd once considered spying for the enemy. For Cage, a fan who grew up as a Foreign Service brat in the very cities where Lemaster set his plots, the story creates a brief but embarrassing sensation. More than two decades later, Cage, by then a lonely, disillusioned PR man, receives an anonymous note hinting that he should have dug deeper. Spiked with cryptic references to some of his and his father's favorite old spy novels, the note is the first of many literary bread crumbs that soon lead him back to Vienna, Prague, and Budapest in search of the truth, even as the events of Lemaster's past eerily—and dangerously—begin intersecting with those of his own. Why is beautiful Litzi Strauss back in his life after thirty years? How much of his father's job involved the CIA? Did Bill, as a child, become a pawn? As the suspense steadily increases, a "long stalemate of secrecy" may finally be broken.作者简介DAN FESPERMAN's travels as a writer have taken him to thirty countries and three war zones.Lie in the Darkwon the Crime Writers' Association of Britain's John Creasey Memorial Dagger Award for best first crime novel,The Small Boat of Great Sorrowswon their Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award for best thriller, andThe Prisoner of Guantánamowon the Dashiell Hammett Award from the International Association of Crime Writers.
