The Apprentice

Libby, Lewis

In the winter of 1903, Japan is beset with smallpox and war is brewing between Japan and Russia. At a remote mountain inn, a raging blizzard brings together wayfarers who share only fear and distrust of one another. The apprentice running the Inn while the owner is away falls in love with a performer lodging there, and his fatal attraction plunges him headlong into a blizzard-swept arena of violence and passion. Murder and first love fuel this gripping novel of suspense, set against the unique backdrop of Japan's secluded snow country.
