A debt of gratitude: to my editors at St. Martin’s Press, Thomas Dunne and the exceptionally talented Melissa Jacobs. To my agents in New York, George Wieser, Olga Wieser, and Jake Elwell. To all those who read and contributed to the manuscript along the way. And especially to my wife, Blythe, for her enthusiasm and patience. Also… a quiet thank you to the two faceless ex-NSA cryptographers 1 who made invaluable contributions via anonymous remailers. Without them this book would not have been written.
Prologue
Plaza de España
Seville, Spain
11:00 A.M.
It is said that in death, all things become clear; Ensei Tankado now knew it was true. As he
clutched his chest and fell to the ground in pain, he realized the horror of his mistake.
People appeared, hovering over him, trying to help. But Tankado did not want help–it was too late for that.Trembling, he raised his left hand and held his fingers outward. Look at my hand! The faces around him stared, but he could tell they did not understand. On his finger was an engraved golden ring. For an instant, the markings glimmered in the
Andalusian sun. Ensei Tankado knew it was the last light he would ever see.
