About this book
A conversation at the Racquet Club turns a possible conflict in Krovitch into a wager about Calvert Carter. Fresh from a financial struggle and remembering his military service in Cuba, Carter attracts the attention of friends who think his sympathy for a struggling cause will carry him to Europe. His valet Carrick, a former soldier with an unusual family medal, adds another thread of uncertainty to the opening.
Davis Brinton's adventure novel combines political unrest with Carter's feelings for Trusia. A separate scene introduces Eugene Delmotte, an artist whose regular allowance has suddenly stopped and whose childhood memories offer few clues about its source. Soldiers, bankers, a princess and a painter share the stage in a story concerned with loyalty, money and uncertain identity. Readers drawn to romantic adventure can follow its shifts between private hopes and the competing claims of a troubled country.
