 | The Prodigal Spy by Joseph Kanon
The time is 1950, the place Washington DC. America is about to be convulsed by the McCarthy witch hunts, but for one 11-year old boy, life is all sodas and drive-ins. Nick Koltar is the son of a high-level government official and a well-connected Washington socialite, and the coming turbulence is unimaginable. But when Nick discovers that his father has been accused of spying for the Russians, his world collapses around him. With an ambitious Senator threatening to expose him, and the woman who was to be his main accuser suddenly dead from a supposed suicide in a Washington hotel room, Nick's father disappears -- only to reappear in Russia three years later. Nick's father is, indeed, a Russian spy, and his son must face up to both the betrayal of a family and the obsessive frenzy of a nation. Joe Kanon's new novel is another triumph of historical veracity and brilliant entertainment, and is also an ambitious synthesis of generational concerns, from the obsession with spies to the anti-War sentiments of the late sixties. Following the lives of Nick and his father, we are swept through Washington as McCarthyism strikes, transported to cold war Prague (where a grown-up Nick meets his father for the first time in almost 20 years, and then falls in love with the niece of the woman who died in the hotel room two decades earlier), and back to a Washington where the talk is of Saigon and marching on the Capitol. On the way there is a bloody murder, shocking revelations about the past, a passionate affair, and spies everywhere you look. All the elements that made Los Alamos a smash hit are here -- the interweaving of historical time and place with a wonderful fictional story; anothersteamy love affair; and an explosive, Hitchcockian ending that will leave readers gasping. It's a wonderful V/hat-if tale with the same literate, readable, and unputdownable power of his first novel. AUTHOR: Joseph Kanon
