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.

Publisher's Note
The Apprentice takes place in a remote mountain inn in northernmost Japan, where a raging blizzard has brought together wayfarers who share only fear and suspicion of one another. It is the winter of 1903, the country is beset with smallpox and war is brewing with Russia.

In the flickering shadows of the crowded room, the apprentice, charged with running the inn during the owner's absence, finds himself strongly attracted to one of the performers lodged there. His involvement with the mysterious travelers plunges him headlong into murder, passion and heart-stopping chases through the snow.

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."
