About This Book
A wartime mystery intertwines espionage, social life, and murder as an officer and his uncle worry about enemy secret services while a prominent family becomes caught in an unfolding investigation. Episodes range from clubs and the Capitol to the morgue, with clues such as fingerprints, phantom wires, and clandestine communications driving a detective pursuit. Themes of loyalty, betrayal, patriotic anxiety, scientific invention, and romantic complication surface as investigators play a high-stakes game of intelligence and counterintelligence, leading to exposure of conspirators and an ending in which justice and personal affections are reconciled.
