This exciting and finely paced political and mystery thriller excels in dry wit. It is a modern love story set in the mountains and lakes of Switzerland and the medieval town of Zurich. The central character, Mark, an anti-hero type and moraliser, loses his job in London as an investment manager under mysterious circumstances. While he and his IT guru friend, Fred, are bent on clearing his name of any wrongdoings, he discovers a scam in progress. By chance, he meets the inscrutable Nathalie who is tied up in an unhappy marriage. He and Nathalie begin an affair seemingly based on mutual convenience, but it soon turns to love. However, their relationship is full of complications as it soon turns out that the mastermind behind the fraud and a political conspiracy is her husband. Mark must face the fact that he, in his exuberance, has bitten off more than he can chew..
