When intelligence agents Bert Wilson and Penelope Lowe pick him up for interrogation, Wyatt understands he's stumbled into an underground world of spies, Eastern European gangsters, and corrupt government officials-and his 20-year-old theft has come back to haunt him.Part southern crime novel, part cat-and-mouse espionage thriller, Jon Sealy's fourth novel is a meditation on the many ways the human heart can betray us.
