He felt himself slipping, dragged only half willingly into the complexities of a problem which should not be his. He had resolved that he would remain detached, the scarred cynic, the catalyst around whom everything changed and only he would remain constant. Now he realized that this was impossible. Like an addict, the student of history had been caught in the tentacies of the past and of the present and was being changed too; his political attitudes, his feelings, his ambitions. American historian Martin Ness is on sabbatical, researching the work of the Danube Commission in the nineteenth century. He decides to visit Sullna, Romania, to bring his studies to life. An innocent research project, but why is Scots landlord Nicki Cordata so keen to offer Ness financial backing? Who is the beautiful woman who Ness sees three times in one day in Bucharest? And why, when he returns to London, is he sure that he's being followed?
