Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. A confidential French-Russian cipher has been compromised, and the most effective investigator may be the woman least likely to attract suspicion. An unnamed Parisian widow, experienced in diplomatic affairs and adept at concealing her intentions, enters a world where conversation can be surveillance, clothing can become camouflage, and loyalty must be judged through layers of performance. Her first-person account brings wit and sharp observation to an espionage mystery governed as much by social manoeuvring as by secret documents. Paris provides the stage for an ingenious contest between appearance and reality. In a dressmaking establishment, a carriage passing through the Bois and the shifting anonymity of Countess Zarfine's masked ball, coded communication mingles with disguise, flirtation and false identity. Masks create temporary freedom while multiplying danger; costumes obscure allegiance even as they offer clues. The narrator must improvise among diplomatic courtesies and suspected espionage, using intelligence and resourcefulness rather than official authority. Masquerade intrigue and adventure are threaded with social comedy, giving the mystery a distinctive balance of political stakes and playful verbal control. Diplomacy emerges as a form of theatre in which every gesture may carry meaning, while the widowed investigator's agency challenges assumptions about who can observe, interpret and act. Her guarded voice keeps her purposes tantalisingly veiled, drawing the reader into a sophisticated game of national loyalty, private intention and uncertain identity.
