In 1943 New Guinea, a Japanese officer beheads Hugh Rand, an Australian spy-a coast watcher. The layers unfold as the author entices us through cultural, historical and intellectual curtains, deep into minds and relationships disturbed by the Pacific war and Rand's legacy in New Guinea, Gilbert Islands, Japan and Australia.
