"In an era when our credulity is stretched daily by political stories . . . the idea that a president’s former wife was trained by the KGB to trap a man with political aspirations might not be so hard to believe. The narrative jumps locales as often and as quickly as a private jet in a time warp."

A tantalizing new thriller . . . there is great house-of-mirrors fun to be had.
— Globe and Mail[A] suggestive thriller . . . There are lots of twists and turns, red herrings, and characters to follow . . . even when truth is stranger than fiction, this bit of fiction is satisfyingly offbeat.

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616), novelist, playwright, and poet, was born in Spain of an ancient but impoverished family. After studying in Madrid, he became a soldier and was wounded in battle. He was taken by pirates in 1575, put in prison at Algiers, and was ransomed five years later. He spent the remainder of his life struggling to earn a livelihood from literature and humble government employment. His first attempt at fiction was a pastoral novel, La Galatea (1585), which was followed by his masterpiece, The Adventures of Don Quixote de la Mancha (1605).
