The Czar's Spy: The Mystery of a Silent Love
1905
In the sun-drenched Italian port of Leghorn, British Consul Gordon Gregg expects nothing more exciting than routine paperwork. Then the yacht Lola runs aground, and its mysterious owner, Philip Hornby, walks into Gregg's office with secrets seeping from every pore. When a break-in at the Consulate leaves a torn photograph of a beautiful woman scattered across the floor, Gregg is thrust into a world of espionage where nothing and no one can be trusted. The trail leads from Italian harbors to the cold corridors of power, and Gregg must navigate a labyrinth of hidden identities, double agents, and a love that speaks only in silence. Written in 1905 when Britain trembled at the shadow of foreign spies, this novel captures the paranoid elegance of the Edwardian age, when empire hung on deciphering who was friend and who was foe.
