The novel follows Perry Barnes, a multifaceted character whose life unfolds across espionage, war, golf, romance, and heist drama. According to the review published by The Chrysalis BREW Project, the book is “a historical fiction spy novel that feels like a biopic because of how realistically it is told.” The same review notes that “Perry is a war hero, professional golfer, stage and TV actor, jewel thief, and double agent.”

The Chrysalis BREW Project highlighted the story’s framing device, where Perry’s narrative is recounted through an oral history: “The story unfolds through the oral history Perry tells to Roger Mace, a government historian who spent years unearthing the story.”

The review also emphasized the book’s thematic layers: “It is a novel of love, redemption, espionage, golf, romance, and heist drama.”
