About the book
This is a powerfully written historical novel, a classic study in human obsessions. It is the story of three men and one woman bound together in a destructive web of hatred and love. Based on historical fact, it revolves around a remarkable hoax pulled off by a Viennese confidence man who came to America in 1826 with an automaton chess player which he called "The Turk."
