Eight years after WWI, Bennett Grey's life remains shattered from an injury that left with a sensitivity to the emotions of others, turning him into a human lie detector. The British government wants to use him as their secret weapon, but he's gone into hiding, until an American Bureau of Investigations agent shows up hot on the trail of a British terrorist who's been working the US as well. Laurie King turns in a well researched novel of Britain post WWI and the labour movement geared to ending the aristocracy. Some want it to be a bloodless coup, some think only blood will make people pay attention.

Laurie R. King is one of the best writers I've ever come across. Her historical fiction is complex, accurate and still engaging and suspenseful.
