This inventive, page-turning crime thriller with "palpable emotional depth" (New York Times Book Review) envisions a world in which the Red Scare never ended.
USA, 1958. President Joseph McCarthy sits in the White House, elected on a wave of populist xenophobia and barelyâconcealed antiâSemitism. The country is in the firm grip of McCarthy's Hueys, a secret police force evolved from the House Un-American Activities Committee. Hollywood's sparkling vision of the American dream has been suppressed; its remaining talents forced to turn out endless antiâcommunist propaganda.
LAPD detective Morris Bakerâa Holocaust survivor who drowns his fractured memories of the unspeakable in schnapps and workâis called to the scene of a horrific doubleâhomicide. The victims are John Huston, a onceâpromising but now forgotten film director, and an upâandâcoming young journalist named Walter Cronkite. Clutched in the hand of one of the dead men is a cryptic note containing the phrase âbeat the devilsâ followed by a single name: Baker. Did the two men die in an attack fueled by better-dead-than-red sentiment, as the Hueys are quick to conclude, or were they murdered in a cover-up designed to protectâor even set in motionâa secret plot connected to Baker's past?
In a country where terror grows stronger by the day, and paranoia rises unchecked, Baker is determined to find justice for two men who raised their voices in a time when free speech comes at the ultimate cost. In the course of his investigation, Baker stumbles into a conspiracy that reaches deep into the halls of power and uncovers a secret that could destroy the City of Angelsâand the American ideal itself.
