WWI veteran Spicer leaves his native New York to join a Soviet spy service to combat fascists in Weimar Germany during the late 1920s. Despite his loyalty to the cause and successful exploits on its behalf, his moral principles and his devotion to a woman compel him to flee his spymasters and become the potential quarry of fascists and communists alike. Stacy John Haigney has created a thought-provoking thriller which should be enjoyed by anyone intrigued by the demimonde of espionage in the Europe of the 1920s.
