"Beautifully written, intricate and entrancing."--Jaroslaw Anders,
"Los Angeles Times Book Review"
Galicia, Austria-Hungary, 1913. In the castle of a frontier town,
on the border between Europe and the East, the corrupt
Count-Governor Wiladowski watches helplessly while a wave of
assassinations sweeps the empire, and his province. When a member
of his own family is murdered, the count gives broad police powers
to his spymaster, Jakob Tausk: a brilliant young Jew whose ruthless
war on terror extends into every corner of the province and beyond,
enlisting union organizers, financiers, aristocrats and their
servants, and a young novelist and playwright, newly arrived in the
Vienna of Franz Josef and Freud, hungry for literary success.
