DOUBLE GAME
Book ID/图书代码： 12844011B49728
English Summary/英文概要： A few years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, spook-turned-novelist Edwin Lemaster revealed to up-and-coming journalist Bill Cage that he’d once considered spying for the enemy. For Cage, a Foreign Service brat who grew up in the very cities where Lemaster’s books were set, the news story created a brief but embarrassing sensation and heralded the beginning of the end of his career in journalism.More than two decades later, Cage, now a lonely, disillusioned PR man, receives an anonymous note hinting that he should have dug deeper into Lemaster’s pronouncement. Spiked with cryptic references to some of Cage’s favorite spy novels, the note is the first of many literary bread crumbs that lead him back to Vienna, Prague, and Budapest, each instruction drawing him closer to the complex truth, each giving rise to more questions: Why is beautiful Litzi Strauss back in his life after thirty years? How much of his father’s job involved the CIA? As the events of Lemaster’s past eerily—and dangerously—begin intersecting with those of Cage’s own, a “long stalemate of secrecy” may finally be coming to an end.
A story about spies and their secrets, fathers and sons, lovers and fate, duplicity and loyalty, The Double Game ingeniously taps the espionage classics of the Cold War to build a spellbinding maze of intrigue. It is Dan Fesperman’s most audacious, suspenseful, and satisfying novel yet.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 柏林墙倒塌的前几年，由间谍转行而来的作家埃德温.莱姆斯特（Edwin Lemaster ）向前途一片光明的记者比尔.凯捷（Bill Cage）透露他曾被敌人当做间谍。凯捷是外交部一个乳臭未干的小伙子，他在莱姆斯特小说的背景城市长大。对于他来说，这样一个新闻故事创造了一次短暂但却令人尴尬的轰动效应，同时导致他的记者生涯开始走向末端。 20多年过去了，如今的凯捷已是一位孤苦无依、充满幻灭的公关先生。他收到一份匿名便笺，暗示他需要深入调查莱姆斯特的判决。那张便笺偷偷掺入了凯捷最爱的侦探小说中的神秘内容，一看上去有许多文学暗示，带他回到了越南、布拉格以及布达佩斯。每一条指示带着他与复杂的真相更进一步，而每一次接近又激起了更多的疑问：为什么美丽Litzi Strauss三十年后又回到了他的身边？他父亲的工作与中央情报局到底有多少关系？莱姆斯特的过去变得古怪—以及危险起来，并开始与凯捷自己的生活交织在一起。一个“长期陷入僵局的秘密”也许终将重归天日。
这是一个关于间谍与秘密、父亲与儿子、情人与命运，背叛与忠诚的故事。《双重游戏》别出心裁地挖掘了冷战时期的间谍小说，打造了一个令人困惑的阴谋迷宫。这是丹（Dan Fesperman）迄今为止最大胆、最悬疑、最令人满意的小说。（XMM）
