Synopsis
I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's alleged role in leaking the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame to reporters has drawn new attention to his racy historical thriller. Set in 1903 Japan, a country on the brink of war with Russia, the story concerns an apprentice innkeeper named Setsuo who naively becomes too involved with the guests at his snowbound hotel, embroiling himself in murder, mayhem, and political intrigue.

Industry Reviews
"Mr. Libby's storytelling skill neatly mixes...conspiratorial murmurs with the boy's emotional turmoil: his heartache and confusion become part of a larger emotional landscape."
New York Times Book Review - Erik Burns (11/03/1996)

"With its subtle clarity, haunting locutions, erotic tensions, 'The Apprentice' is a timeless tale of love, greed, and violence reminiscent of a Kurosawa film. A striking--utterly unusual--elegant novel."
