Two of the CIA's case officers in Vienna， Henry Pelham and Celia Harrison， were lovers at the time， and on the night of the hostage crisis Celia decided she'd had enough. She left the agency， married and had children， and is now living an ordinary life in the idyllic town of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Henry is still a case officer in Vienna， and has traveled to California to see her one more time， to relive the past， maybe， or to put it behind him once and for all.
But neither of them can forget that long-ago question： Had their agent been compromised？ If so， how？ Each also wonders what role tonight's dinner companion might have played in the way the tragedy unfolded six years ago.
All the Old Knives is New York Times bestseller Olen Steinhauer's most intimate， most cerebral， and most shocking novel to date.
Henry Pelham 和Celia Harrison 是中央情报局在维也纳的两名官员，他们同时也是情侣。而在发生人质危机的那一晚，Celia觉得自己受够了这样的生活，于是她选择离开情报局并与他人结婚生子。而Henry留了下来，但是他决定去见Celia最后一面来同过去告别。但是心中装着六年前的悲剧的两个人都不清楚该以怎样的心态去赴宴。这本书是作者Olen最令人震撼的作品。
