About This Book

The narrative follows the sudden disappearance of a member of an international assembly and the inquiries that follow, pursued by a young correspondent and fellow attendees. Scenes shift among hotels, assembly halls, and lakeside residences, assembling a cast of diplomats, deposed clergy, and controversial visitors whose interactions reveal hidden loyalties. The investigation proceeds as a conventional mystery threaded with social observation, examining etiquette, rivalries, and eccentricities, and gradually exposing unexpected motives and uneasy alliances within the diplomatic community.
