Chuck Kelso is an idealist. When he steals a top-secret NATO memorandum, he only intends to leak it to the press; but it is soon in the hands of a Russian agent, a man who has spent nine years quietly working himself into the fabric of Washington society.

For British agent Tony Lawton, hunting down the Russian operative—the "agent in place"—is a welcome challenge. But for Chuck’s brother, the journalist Tom Kelso, and his beautiful wife, Thea, the affair has unleashed a very special terror.

Edgar Allan Poe wrote “The Masque of the Red Death” nearly 180 years ago, yet its narrative and characters continue to mystify and captivate. The short story is driven by Prince Prospero’s attempt to evade the “Red Death”, a fatal plague infecting his kingdom, by hiding in his abbey, where he indulges in pleasures and delights with other nobles. He soon finds out that no one can escape their end. Steven Archer has recast the characters of “The Masque” and illuminated the narrative in a novel and perhaps more visceral light.

Sommar är glass och jordgubbar, myggbett och maskrosor. Sommar är bara ben och skrapsår på små, små knän. Sommar är tunna klänningar och shorts, musik, blomdoft och nyslaget gräs. Fågelkvitter, färskpotatis och långa grillkvällar med mycket vin. Det är bad och camping och gräl och ändlös kärlek som aldrig kan bli större än under en varm natt. Men mitt ibland all den där glassen och blomdoften och kärleken och värmen och allt det vackra finns också - obegripligt nog - ondskan.
