Publisher's Synopsis
George Gerfaut, aimless young executive and desultory family man, witnesses a murder and finds himself sucked into a spiral of violence involving an exiled war criminal and two hired assassins. Adapting to the exigencies of his new life on the run with shocking ease, Gerfaut abandons his comfortable middle-class life for several months, including a sojourn in the countryside, until, joined by a new ally, he finally returns to settle all accounts - with brutal, bloody interest.
