About the book
In Stockholm in 1917, competing interests move through a city made strategically important by war. A mysterious document attracts men prepared to use coercion, while rumors suggest that not every secret operation can be explained as service to one of the belligerent powers. Maurice Wallion and the newly arrived Leonard Grath become involved in a danger centered on the Copper House and the forces gathering around it. Julius Regis frames the adventure as the reconstruction of a narrowly averted crisis, drawing attention to the problem of recognizing an organizing intelligence behind apparently scattered events. The result combines detective inquiry with conspiracy and physical peril, extending the stakes beyond one crime into a broader contest for control.
