Publisher's Synopsis
In this unusual psychological novel, Frank Ward - a melancholy English academic who has lost too many years in dim libraries and basement archives - journeys to a pueblo on the southern Spanish coast to celebrate the publication of his first book. Through a series of intense encounters, and through the unexpected medium of research into the life of 'the Good Nazi' Albert Speer (whose driver sought refuge in the village after the war), Frank slowly comes to grips with his own tormented past.
