Nobody captures espionage quite like Beckner.
- I.S. BERRY, Edgar Award-winning Author of THE PEACOCK AND THE SPARROW, A New Yorker & NPR Best Book of the Year
For the Kingstons, there is no refuge from the past-no border between family and betrayal, no line between history and blood.
From Michael Frost Beckner-the award-winning novelist and screenwriter of Spy Game, the classic Robert Redford/Brad Pitt thriller-comes Part Five of his generational espionage saga.
CHRISTMAS EVE -
Part Five of the Kaleidoscope Saga
The Yule log burns at Foxtail Farm. Snow settles. The house holds.
But beneath the warmth of Christmas, old crimes stir.
Melody Kingston uncovers the buried heart of her family's power: the Place of Blackness beneath their ancestral land-a history of slavery, rebellion, and betrayal that refuses to remain silent. In a season that promises hope, she begins to understand how fragile hope truly is-and how costly.
Michael Frost Beckner is the rarest of spy novelists-a beautiful, compelling writer with a mastery of tradecraft and the brutal, human cost of espionage.
- JOE WEISBERG, former CIA Officer and Emmy-winning Creator of THE AMERICANS
Three miles away, in the diplomatic shadows of Washington, Lynn Kingston stands trapped inside a machinery larger than guilt or innocence, caught between Russia, the CIA, and the phantom network known as Kalaydoskop.
Across the world, Michael Kingston balances exile against vengeance, love against inheritance, poised on a choice that may sever him from everything that shaped him.
And above them all stands Silas Kingston-architect of KALEIDOSCOPE, the century-long intelligence operation built to steady a violent world-watching the system he created begin to turn beyond his control. Haunted by the past and losing his grip on the present, Silas confronts the realization that what he fought to preserve may have cost him what mattered most.
First-class spy novels with a smart, gritty atmosphere.
- CHARLES CUMMING, New York Times & Sunday Times bestselling author
KALEIDOSCOPE does for the CIA what The Sopranos did for the mob.
- MICHAEL APTED, Oscar-nominated director of Coal Miner's Daughter and James Bond: The World Is Not Enough
A saga of espionage, legacy, and the agonies of love without truth, Beckner's Kaleidoscope fuses Faulkner, Arthurian myth, and the merciless mechanics of power into a spy epic unlike any other.
