Foster's dramatic skill is well known in London's West End theatres, so
perhaps it wasn't so surprising when he was hired by an American
newspaper publisher to cover the trial of Yordan Delchev for treason.
Accused of membership in the sinister Officer Corps Brotherhood and of
masterminding a plot to assassinate his country's leader, Delchev may in
fact be a pawn and his trial all show. But when Foster meets Madame
Delchev, the accused's powerful wife, he suddenly becomes enmeshed in
more life-threatening intrigue than he could have imagined.
