Wyatt Brewer is at a spiritual crossroads: recently sober, flirting with Catholicism, and scraping by as a newspaper reporter in the Holy City - Charleston, South Carolina. His life takes a dark turn one when he's assigned to cover the death of a mysterious Estonian who washed up on Folly Beach.
Ten days later, intelligence agents Bert Wilson and Penelope Lowe drag him in for questioning. Wyatt realizes he's stumbled into an underground world of crime and corruption, and now he's caught in the middle.
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, The King Street Affair is a meditation on the many ways the human heart can betray us.
Perfect for readers of John Le Carre, Graham Greene, and Mick Herron - literary spy fiction about the costs of secrets and the weight of compromise.
