Overview
Louis Passau is Americaâe(tm)s greatest living orchestral conductor, a legendary, world-acclaimed artist whose ninetieth birthday will be marked by a glittering celebratory concert at New Yorkâe(tm)s Lincoln Center. But a double shadow hangs over the event: Passau has recently been accused of spying for Hitler and, worse, the British Secret Intelligence Service have now linked his name to KGB clandestine operations in the USA during the Cold War. The Maestro agrees to be interrogated, but only after the concert. British Intelligence call in Big Herbie Kruger to question the Maestro, and thanks to the once-famous agent-runner Passau survives an assassination attempt in his moment of glory. Still a target, he now insists on dealing only with Kruger, who desperately seeks a safe-house to conduct the debriefing. As he grapples with the elusive truth about the conductor âe" from the manâe(tm)s first memories of his Bavarian village, to his adventures as a young immigrant in New York, his experiences in Caponeâe(tm)s Chicago and his ruthless rise to fame and fortune âe" Herbie Kruger finds himself ensnared in the Maestroâe(tm)s dangerous secrets and deceits.
