An American newsman in Europe is onto a story that will change -- and may cause him to lose -- his life.  Throughout his career he has always been the clear-eyed observer, standing a bit above the rush of history.  Now, tracking down the story of a lifetime, he is catapulted away from the sidelines into the fray.

All his leads hint at a dossier that tells the story of a hero who, now running as a French presidential candidate, is likely to be revealed in quite another light -- a light that shines all the way back to the days of the French Resistance fighters, catching some of them in attitudes of treachery and collaboration.  It is a document of such sinister power that, when opened, will affect the lives of many friends and enemies . . . and perhaps the lives of millions.  The dossier is in Moscow buried deep in the vaults of the KGB.

This is high-powered, behind-the-scenes, action-filled suspense full of timely elements that parallel stories such as that of Klaus Barbie, the Nazi helped to safety by Allied Intelligence; of Soviet hustlers who deal in tips, favors, and manuscripts, both real and phony; with a journalist hero and the woman who is the love of his life, who lead the reader into the kind of adventure only a professional, privy to special sources and secrets, could set forth with such entertaining realism.
