Trust nobody with anything – about Amberlough: Publication 1 in the Amberlough Dossier specifically in Amberlough City.

Covert agent Cyril DePaul thinks he’s proficient at keeping secrets, especially from Aristide Makricosta. They match each other: Aristide turns a blind attention to Cyril’s clandestine affairs, and Cyril will keep his lover’s moonlighting work being a smuggler under wraps.

Cyril participates on a mission that leads to disastrous outcomes, leaving smoke cigarettes from different political fires smoldering through the entire town. Shielding Aristide from the expected fallout isn’t easy, though, for he refuses to allow anything – not really the crooked city police or the mounting rage from radical conservatives – dictate his existence.

Enter streetwise Cordelia Lehane, a top dancer on the Bumble Bee Cabaret and Aristide’s runner, who may be the essential to Cyril’s plans-if she can be trusted. As the twinkling lighting of nightclub marquees produce towards the increasing flames of the fascist revolution, these three will battle to survive using whatever means – and folks – necessary. Including each other.

Merging the espionage thrills of le Carré using the allure of another vintage era, Amberlough will thoroughly seduce and enthrall you.
