Description
xAn ex-Soviet professor plays amateur detective in this character-driven post-Cold War romp by the New York Times bestselling author of The Company. Lemuel Falk, a theoretical "chaoticist," has been denied permission to leave Russia for
the last twenty-three years--likely because he knows a few state secrets. He is shocked when his twenty-fourth request is approved and he is offered a position as visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Chaos-Related Studies in upstate New York. As soon as Professor Falk arrives in America, a fellow professor dies under mysterious circumstances. When he agrees to assist in the investigation at the behest of local police, he is plunged into a new kind of chaos: a high-stakes academic catfight, an affair with a much-younger woman, and cascading offers from domestic spies looking to capitalize on his knowledge--all while the ghosts from his past in Russia return to haunt him. A wholly original novel from a master of intrigue, The Visiting Professor is a portrait of chaos theory, the limits of rationality, and the ironies of America.
