Tor, New York, 1999, 1^st pbk ed/pr.  ISBN 0-812-54536-2.  MMPB, 298+ pages.  Unread copy with a bit of edge and cover wear, sticker ghost on front wrap; pages lightly tanned.  ‘Doktor Johan Eschbach had hoped for a quiet life in retirement from the intelligence service, teaching … at the University of New Bruges and living with his new wife, the vocalist Llysette du Boise. Llysette, a refugee from the burning remains of France, would herself like … than to resume her singing career and forget her time in the prison camps of the Hapsburg Empire.  But an unusual invitation from the Mormon nation of Deseret inexorably drags Johan back into the spy business, though he isn't quite sure why or for whom. It quickly becomes apparent that he is being used as a pawn in a deadly game of international maneuverings that are leading the world closer to war.’ (from Goodreads)
