The Cab of the Sleeping Horse

In a smoky club on a crisp spring night, three sharp‑tongued men trade barbed jokes while a name hangs in the air like a secret password. They speak of a stunning woman whose beauty matches a razor‑thin intellect, a figure who has slipped through marriage, murder, and the highest circles of European politics. Her past is a collage of daring liaisons, a daring impersonation of royalty, and a surprising tenure in the German secret service, earning both admiration and distrust.

The narrative follows a curious investigator who steps onto the fog‑laden streets of Washington, chasing the faint trail of a cab that never seems to stop. As clues surface—a photograph, a cryptic telegram, a slip of paper—each discovery deepens the mystery of who she truly serves and what she hopes to gain. Listeners will be drawn into a world of wry dialogue, hidden motives, and the graceful danger of a woman who can outthink any opponent.
