One winter morning, he is assigned to cover the death of a mysterious Estonian who washed up on Folly Beach.When intelligence agents Bert Wilson and Penelope Lowe pick him up for interrogation, Wyatt understands he's stumbled into an underground world of crime and corruption. The agents give him a choice: Help them bring down a mole in their division or fend for himself against Eastern European gangsters and dirty government officials.Part southern crime novel, part cat-and-mouse espionage thriller, Jon Sealy's fourth novel is a meditation on the many ways the human heart can betray us.
