It{u2019}s 3:00am. Do you know where your husband is? Meet Will Rhodes: travel writer, recently married, barely solvent, his idealism rapidly giving way to disillusionment and the worry that he{u2019}s living the wrong life. Then one night, on assignment for the award-winning Travelers magazine in the wine region of Argentina, a beautiful woman makes him an offer he can{u2019}t refuse. Soon Will{u2019}s bad choices{u2014}and dark secrets{u2014}take him across Europe, from a chateau in Bordeaux to a midnight raid on a Paris mansion, from a dive bar in Dublin to a mega-yacht in the Mediterranean and an isolated cabin perched on the rugged cliffs of Iceland. As he{u2019}s drawn further into a tangled web of international intrigue, it becomes clear that nothing about Will Rhodes was ever ordinary, that the network of deception ensnaring him is part of an immense and deadly conspiracy with terrifying global implications{u2014}and that the people closest to him may pose the greatest threat of all.

Will Rhodes has made a terrible mistake. Harmless flirtations are part of his job. But these flirtations have never showed up at his hotel room with a gun, threatening his life. Will is a travel writer - a wine aficionado and international food expert for Travelers magazine. Though he's wondered why he sometimes has to deliver bulky sealed packages to consulates all over the world, or why he occasionally has to use a fake name. Now those shadowy errands and white lies have come back to haunt him. Clearly Will's job is not everything he thought it was. But once the truth is revealed to him, he needs to act fast, and act right. His life depends on it. (less)

Meet James Samuel Vincent, an affluent Manhattan attorney who shirks his modest Irish American background but hews to his father{u2019}s meandering ways. James muddles through a topsy-turvy relationship with his son, Rufus, which is further complicated when Rufus marries Claudia Christie. Claudia{u2019}s mother{u2014}Agnes Miller Christie{u2014}is a beautiful African American woman who survives a chance encounter on a Georgia road that propels her into a new life in the Bronx. Soon after, her husband, Eddie Christie, is called to duty on an air craft carrier in Vietnam, where Tom Stoppard{u2019}s play g2sRosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Deadg3s becomes Eddie{u2019}s life anchor, as he grapples with mounting racial tensions on the ship and counts the days until he will see Agnes again. These unforgettable characters{u2019} lives intersect with a cast of lovers and friends{u2014}the unapologetic black lesbian who finds her groove in 1970s Berlin; a moving man stranded in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, during a Thanksgiving storm; two half-brothers who meet as adults in a crayon factory; and a Coney Island waitress whose Prince Charming is too good to be true.
