A corporate lawyer from the House of Single & Single is shot dead on a Turkish hillside for crimes he didn't understand. A children's entertainer in Devon is taken to his bank late one night to explain a monumental influx of cash. A Russian freighter is arrested in the Black Sea. A celebrated London financier disappears into thinair and a British customs officer is on a trail of corruption and murder. The logical explanation of these events is one of the many pleasures of this extraordinary novel of love, deceit, family and the triumph of humanity.
