A well-written, understated piece with intrigue and murder. It's rather like plotting your moves for one game when your cohorts are engaged in another game altogether. Despite some period details, underlying themes and the conclusion feel relevant even now. I'm glad Valancourt Books has reprinted and released this one.
Better in his earlier work; too cerebral later on.
