A spellbinding literary thriller about terror, war, greed, and
the darkest secrets of the human soul, by the author of the
million-copy bestseller, The Interpretation of Murder. September
16, 1920. Under a clear blue September sky, a quarter ton of
explosives is detonated in a deadly attack on Wall Street. Fear
comes to the streets of New York. Witnessing the blast are war
veteran Stratham Younger, his friend James Littlemore of the New
York Police Department, and beautiful French radiochemist Colette
Rousseau. A series of inexplicable attacks on Colette, a secret
buried in her past, and a mysterious trail of evidence lead
Younger, Littlemore, and Rousseau on a thrilling international and
psychological journey - from Paris to Prague, from the Vienna home
of Dr Sigmund Freud to the corridors of power in Washington, DC,
and ultimately to the hidden depths of our most savage instincts.
As the seemingly disjointed pieces of Younger and Littlemore's
investigations come together, the two uncover the shocking truth
about the bombing - a truth that threatens to shake their world to
its foundations.
