The friendship between Max Hood, hero of the empire who rode alongside T.E. Lawrence in Arabia, and the young American correspondent Rodger Godwin was forged in the 1920s in Paris,city of Hemingway, hot jazz and free love. It was there that they both met a girl alluring beyond her years, Pricilla DewBrittain, Cilla, who by 1940 would be a star of the British screen, Max Hod's wife and the secret love Godwli's life. Now Hood has been chosen to command the attack on Rommel's headquarters, and Godwin has been offered an exclusive on the story. At Churcill's personal request, the American accepts an active role in the assassination of the Desert Fox. But the Nazis lie in ambush. The plan has been betrayed.
Consumed by his desire for Cilla and his guilt over the outcome of Operation Praetorian, Godwin vow to track down the traitor and kill him. His search for revenge is driven by obsession, one that draws him into a labyrinth of political intrigue and private passions. Gradually Godwin begins to discover how little he really knew: the truth about Hood, about Cilla, about himself, about the secrets share between one man and another and between a man and a woman, about the primal urges that move through history, sex, power, and violence.
