520 1 $a"In 1940, Francis Bacon, a brilliant young American physicist, is invited to join the prestigious institute at Princeton, the world's foremost physics research facility. But a series of personal indiscretions forces him to accept a different, more sinister, assignment: uncover "Klingsor," Hitler's top adviser on the scientific work in the Third Reich, including the race to create the first atomic bomb.".
520 8 $a"Bacon's efforts to expose the truth lead him first to Gustav Links, a survivor of the attempted coup against Hitler. With Links's help, he continues searching postwar Germany - in an era when a secret was really a secret and a lie wasn't necessarily a sin - and falls into a complicated relationship with an alluring woman. His search for Klingsor, an ominous and seemingly omniscient adversary, is part mystery, part psychological puzzle, part witty intellectual game.
520 8 $aIn Search of Klingsor places real people in speculative historical fiction, combining the ingenuity of a scientific investigation with the suspense of a great espionage novel."--BOOK JACKET.
