“Their love was as dangerous as the secrets they kept.”
Barley Scott Blair, a Lisbon-based editor of Russian literature who unexpectedly begins working for British intelligence, is commissioned to investigate the purposes of Dante, a dissident scientist trapped in the decaying Soviet Union that is crumbling under the new open-minded policies.
A smoky, world-weary spy thriller steeped in the twilight of the Cold War. It feels like a long, slow exhale, full of hushed conversations, lingering glances, and the melancholic beauty of a world on the brink of change.
