Having read both The Lacuna(bwl 56) and In the Blue House (bwl 16), I was curious to know just how accurate both books are about Trotsky's Mexican exile, his assassination and the part played by Stalin. To my joy I heard about this recently published book. It reads like a thriller combining the novelist's skills of bringing characters and places alive with the historian's ability to probe into the facts and truth about real events.
