This “atmospheric tale of betrayal and revenge” among The Lost Generation of the Roaring Twenties “does a fine job of bringing Hemingway’s Paris to life” (Publishers Weekly).

It’s 1922, and reporters Joe Henry and Wynton Gresham are both veterans of French battles in WWI—the war that was supposed to end all wars. When Henry decides to pay Gresham a visit in Greenwich, Connecticut, he finds his friend dead, and soon becomes the prime suspect in his murder.

Unanswered questions pile up: a manuscript Gresham had just completed has gone missing, three Frenchmen lay dead in a car accident less than a mile from Gresham’s home, and a trunk full of Gresham’s clothes lay neatly packed in his bedroom. And then Henry discovers a ticket in Gresham’s desk drawer—one-way passage to France aboard a steamer ship leaving the next day.

Escaping the town sheriff’s interrogations, Henry steals away to Paris under Gresham’s name. But in the City of Light, he’s a hunted man. To clear his name and save his own life, he must find the man responsible for his friend’s murder and discover the deadly secret revealed in the lost manuscript. In the process, with the help of other veteran expats of Hemingway’s Lost Generation living in Paris, he finds hope in a world irrevocably altered by war.
