Das Scarlatti-Erbe

The story jumps between different characters and timelines, creating a complex web. I wonder what inspired the structure and how it evolved during writing.

It felt like the story took a breather before ramping up again. Was that intentional to build tension or just a natural part of the plot development?

The tradecraft and political intrigue seemed very realistic. I’m curious whether Ludlum drew from real espionage techniques or did research to craft this atmosphere.
