A new name. An old secret. A postcard with no stamp. Ohio, February 1963. Thirteen-year-old Danny Marsh has a new name, a new school, a new bus route and a made-up hometown. He is not supposed to remember who he used to be. The Central Intelligence Agency promised his family a quiet life, and for a few weeks it almost works. Then a postcard arrives with no stamp, addressed to a name nobody has called him in ten years. A boy on the other side of the world begins to write him letters that read like friendship and may be something else. A man he trusted is gone, a new man in a sweater vest asks too many questions, and his mother is hiding a message she cannot burn fast enough. A Cold War story of names, letters and loyalty, continuing the story begun in Sleeper House.
