The musical Evita came to life onstage almost four decades ago, telling the story of the little-known wife of an Argentine dictator. Today everybody knows who Evita is and many people can sing Don't Cry for Me, Argentina. The new novel The Earth Endures portrays the terror and agony of Argentina's revolution. It covers the period before and after Juan Peron's removal from office. Argentina in the mid-1950s is in chaos. The army, the church, and the communists each have plans to save the nation. The only issue they agree on is that Perón must go. Into this fray comes a German-born CIA agent, Argentina's chief spy catcher, an ambitious police detective, a teenage courtesan, a spoiled American debutante, and a female assassin. All are caught up in the revolution. Knickerbocker presents a period thriller rife with riots and bloodshed, spies and assassins, where no one is really what they seem to be. ... compelling twists. Knickerbocker could ride his vivid sense of time and place into the big leagues with extraordinary gentlemen like Daniel Silva and John le Carré. - Kirkus Reviews 'The Earth Endures' is a thriller that should prove hard to put down, very much recommended. - Midwest Book Review
