This is the story of the infamous Dreyfus affair told as a chillingly dark, hard-edged novel of conspiracy and espionage. Paris in 1895. Alfred Dreyfus, a young Jewish officer, has just been convicted of treason, sentenced to life imprisonment at Devil's Island, and stripped of his rank in front of a baying crowd of twenty-thousand. Among the witnesses to his humiliation is Georges Picquart, the ambitious, intellectual, recently promoted head of the counterespionage agency that "proved" Dreyfus had passed secrets to the Germans. At first, Picquart firmly believes in Dreyfus's guilt. But it is not long after Dreyfus is delivered to his desolate prison that Picquart stumbles on information that leads him to suspect that there is still a spy at large in the French military. As evidence of the most malignant deceit mounts and spirals inexorably toward the uppermost levels of government, Picquart is compelled to question not only the case against Dreyfus but also his most deeply held beliefs about his country, and about himself. Bringing to life the scandal that mesmerized the world at the turn of the twentieth century, the author tells a tale of uncanny timeliness, a witch hunt, secret tribunals, out-of-control intelligence agencies, and the fate of a whistle-blower. -- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Harris   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Harris   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Harris   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Harris   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Harris   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Harris   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Harris   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Fiction Harris Historical Checked In Add Copy to MyList
